Can you change the color of Markers in Rise?

I also support that we have the ability to format the markers independently from the course theme configured colour. I would also love to see a 'visited' state for the marker.

cheers Gerry 

Thanks for your input, folks! It's helpful for us to know how in-demand this feature is. 😊

I agree, too! I just consulted with a co-worker and we searched for options so the learners can see the markers better. I hope this feature request gets to the top of the list soon!

Another voice to the request please - I am dealing with software screenshots that are predominantly white and the markers are near invisible :(

I'm also looking to change the fill color on my markers. My background is primarily white and they are difficult to see even with the outline and the shadow. I see this question was initially posted two years ago. Has there been any movement on this topic?

Hey folks! Customizing marker color isn't on our immediate Rise 360 roadmap, but we're still tracking requests for it. Thanks for your input!

Hi: I think everyone would be happy with a solid fill colour so learners can see the marker - I am not worried about customizing. Changing to a solid colour should without a doubt be on the roadmap - should have already been addressed as it has been an issue since Rise was launched.

I agree with Brenda! Even if it can't be a custom colour, a solid and clearly visible marker should be a priority fix for Rise. The current are not creating a good user experience for learners.

Thanks Sarah. Yes, this is a very basic Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) principle that should be incorporated into the design of the program. In looking through other posts, I believe darkening/changing the colour of markers has been a request for about 2 years? Darkening the markers should not be that difficult, but then again I am not a programmer.

My client just asked for the ability to create more contrast for these buttons as well. I really don't understand why after 2 years this basic feature has not been added. We need at least a light and dark option for these buttons depending on the background. Any progress on this issue?

+1 requesting this feature.  I agree with Rick's comment above. Even if not fully customizable, simply having a light/dark option would be helpful to add more contrast. 

+1 for this feature.

Guys... I've been watching the forums for a while regarding Rise... and this is one of the most requested features over the past couple years. Articulate even stated (mentioned in a previous comment) that this feature isn't even something on their roadmap... something I'd like to see.

I'm not hopeful any of this will be implemented... at least not for another couple years, which is unfortunate as this is a needed feature.  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

How many more requests do they need to "track" to warrant the change? 

Not sure but it would not that be that hard of a thing to do you would think. It seems Articulate is taking a minimalist approach in terms of new feature rollouts. Every once and a while they provide a fairly low impact feature rather than actually making substantive improvements. 

I have posted about this a few times. I just created another module last week that required required a few labelled graphics, and as is every single time, it is a form (black type on a white background). This time I needed to provide directions as to where to start clicking as it was hard to see - it is getting somewhat/very irritating, given the need/requests for the markers to change and be darker - you don't need it to be darker after clicking on it, it needs to be darker from the start for the learner to see where to click!

There are options. If you know CSS, you can go in the CSS file after output and find the appropriate selector and change the background color. it is a bit of a pain but can be done.  What would be really nice (if they can't give us a UI to do it, is if they gave us a CSS over-ride like you can get in Wordpress themes and then we can share ways to customize the pages ourselves.  

I would love to see something other than white for the background of the markers as well.  It makes it hard for the learner to see it on a white background.

Another plus 1. thanks. 

Thanks for chiming in, folks. We appreciate the feedback!

This has been open for some time... is there any plan to make this change?

First post was made on 06/20/17 at 8:07 am (PDT)... over 2 years ago. I doubt anything will happen "soon." Hopefully I'm wrong.

I hate always having to do a workaround for something that has been requested for years now, however I put the image of a screen/form/doc that is on a white background in to something like Photoshop, make it a couple of shades slightly darker, nothing too intense, so it still looks almost-white and then the markers show up a little better too.

Add me to the request list. In addition to the colour, we should be able to adjust the size. 

From an accessibility standpoint, it's so hard to see on a white background for someone without a visual impairment. I can't imagine what it's like for folks who are visually impaired! 

Bringing this back up to the top.  You can do this in Storyline, I'd love to see it happen in Rise.
