Wow. this thread is over 4 years old, and still not fixed? At least not that I can find. Forgive me if there is one, and I just haven't been able to find it. Just ran into this issue now and found this thread looking for a solution. C'mon Articulate. This is basic. I have white text on a dark background, and can't change the color of my bullets to match? If this has been fixed, it's not easy to locate. Anyone know?
They did briefly add the feature but then had to roll it back - but hopefully, there will be a resolution soon. I've just stopped using bullet blocks completed and format normal paragraphs manually for now.
I'm just coming back to Articulate and now remembering these basic formatting and other elearning requirements take years if ever to remedy - I've got a list of these that amount to multiple frustrations. Why Articulate?
Having the same problem in 2022 - I'm relatively new to using Articulate product (1 year) - curious to know how Articulate prioritise fixes and communicate them? I'm finding many niggly issues that seem to have been around for a long time.
Keen to here of any alternate platforms for rapid e-learning development that others are loving (more than Rise)
Agree 💯 it’s a very expensive product and it has some issues that seem surprising. One is the bullet color issue. Others are the inability to properly resize a picture and to use MCQs to pose opinion questions with no correct answer.
Rise has created a MASSIVE library of amazing content., which took who knows how much time and money... and yet these niggly issues remain. It's a mystery,
What I have seen in all these years using Articulate products is that communication about product updates is not frequent and often takes the shape of marketing campaigns once a year or so (last one, Rise templates). Working in a software company, I am used to seeing minor updates every two weeks, but this is not definitely the case here. I don't have the feeling that they listen to community requests or if they do it feels extremely slow.
They also maintain a roadmap page with future product updates. Unfortunately, they do not have an ETA and sometimes we get an update that was not listed there (if memory serves), so I don't really trust that public roadmap: https://articulate.com/support/article/Articulate-360-Feature-Roadmap
I hope this answers your question. As for the alternatives, I was recently shown contentCloud by Netex and I thought it looked way more powerful than Rise.
I was so close in getting us ( a rather large company ) on the "easygenerator.com" train, but China put a stop to that. Articulate works in china. At the time Easygenerator was lacking in that performance, but check it out with free trial, and see if it is for you, I have not checked their latest version.
Also i think that "ispringsolutions.com" is a interesting option, if i had the option..
But in another 5 years i expect Articulate Rise to have learned a lot and we will have a "all basics covered system" to work with.

Would be great if this could be fixed
Currently you cannot use bullets with a colored background.
Is there any progress on being able to change the colour of the bullet points yet? I have a dark background and the bullets don't show up.
Thanks
Bumping this - very annoying and my OCD is playing up!
Just found this thread because I have this issue and can't believe that it is over 4 years old. Please can someone look at this soon? :-(
First requested in 2018...
Hi Kerry,
Three months ago, Articulate rolled out a new text editor that allowed changing the bullet colors.
See https://community.articulate.com/discussions/rise-360/change-bullet-color?page=10#reply-788497
However, the new text editor was buggy, so Articulate reverted to the old version.

You will be very lucky!!
Four years ago and this hasn't been implemented yet? Really?
