Can you change the color of Markers in Rise?

Hi Leslie, 

Thank you for the quick response! This does help, but unfortunately I was hoping that you could change the fill color of the outside circle before the user clicks or hovers over it. 

If that's something that can be done, that would be great.

I certainly understand Karlee. I think it's a great idea and I've submitted a feature request on your behalf for this feature.

I would really like this as well.  A full colored in circle would be much more identifiable.  Also, is there a way to change which side the text box pops up on?  For example, I am labeling a screen shot of a document to explain what information would go in each dialog box.  When they click the marker, the dialog box covers the area of the form.  I'd like it to pop up on the opposite side so they can read the tip AND see the section of the document. 

Hi Rachell,

Marker captions open to the left or right by default, based on their location on the image and the device you're using to view the course. For example, the captions will cover the screen when you're viewing the course on a mobile phone. 

It sounds like you'd like to have more flexibility on the caption placement. That's a really good idea--I'll share that one with the team, too!

Thank you! I'd like this feature as well!

I have tried changing the theme color to change my markers but they remain as black and white. I tried deleting the marker and adding it back in after I changed the color, but still remains as black and white. Is there some other setting I'm missing?

Michele - they are black and white while authoring but once you run the course they will take on your accent color. Hit Preview and you'll see what I mean. 

Hello, I'm just adding my voice for a more visible on a white background set of markers. 

Hi Erik,

What color have you set your theme colors to? As Adam mentioned they're black/white while authoring but once you preview, use the Share link or export you will see the markers take on your theme color.

I have a dark blue as my theme color. Here is a picture of the markers:

It would be great if the pulsing ring could take on a theme color.

Thanks for the idea, Erik! I’ll pass your thoughts along to our product team, but you can also feel free to detail them more through a feature request. 

This will be great. More often than not, any computer program will have a white background, so a white button makes it difficult to see. Looking forward to this one coming through :)

Thanks for weighing in on this as well, Michael! 

One more for changing the color from white.

Thanks, Blair for popping in to share that you'd like this too. We'll keep you posted here if there are any changes around this. 

Adding my +1 for this feature. Being able to change the color to make it stand out against a background would be helpful. Also, having the marker change after it has been selected would be helpful for the Learner to know what has already been selected. Maybe the option to choose the color for "selected" could be added as a feature? In the meantime, we either create a Storyline for the added level of control over the states, or we use numbered markers to make it easier for Learners to follow/keep track.

Thanks,  Erin. This is a request we're tracking and we'll let folks know if it's something that makes our feature roadmap for Rise! 

I am working on a RISE course and the markers are light until selected.  I know the theme changes the color, but I too would love to see if we can change the color of the entire marker to stand out.

Me too! Me too! The ability to customize the marker colors (fill and pulsing ring) would be a nice feature.

I'm using the labeled graphic on a corporate document that is primarily white with our company's blue accent. Naturally, my Rise accent color is set to the same blue, therefore the markers blend right into the document. The option to change the marker to a contrasting color would keep our employees from having to play Where's Waldo to get through the course. 

I used this work around. I made a dark border around my graphic and placed the markers within the dark border. I also used lines where necessary on the graphic that would point to the marker.

Thanks, Andrea for sharing that workaround. We'll keep you posted here with any other improvements that are added to the markers! 

I agree. If the marker is on a graphic with a white background, it doesn't stand out enough for the learner to see it.

Thanks for adding your voice, Diane! You're in the right place, and we'll let you know if we make any changes to the markers feature in the future. 

Another +1 :)

They are hard to see in a project I am recently doing, so I quickly googled it and here we go.

Thanks for taking in our requests and ideas!
