Hello, Joy! Thanks for checking in.

The text editor used in Rise 360 still doesn't support formatting the bullet or numbering color. We have requested improvements in that tool so you can have better control over bullets. If we get new information, we'll share it with you here.

Thank you for the update, Alyssa! Looking forward to that functionality!

Until changing bullet color is a feature, here's a messy workaround:

At end of index.html:

Add jquery CDN script
Add code:
<script type="text/javascript"> $(window).on('load', function() { $( "li:contains('Unique text in your list item')" ).css( "color", "#FFF" );
}); </script>

Any word on this?

Omg. This was opened 2 years ago!?

Are we really not able to do that in 2020? Shouldn't it be basic text editor feature? When do you plan to fix this?

(Yeah, I need this to be fix, where should I sign for the "feature" request? And sorry for the tone but... 2 years for this, really? You were able to launch Rise.com during this time, where are the basic fixes in your roadmap!?)

For those who are still facing this issue, here is my solution:

Copy-paste the symbol ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullet_(typography) )
Increase indent

It will have a bullet list look and you'll be able to add the colour you wish.

(Maybe this was already a known work-around but I did not read the 6 pages, so sorry if that's the case ^^')

Just scrolled through 2 years of comments to find no change :( #upvote

Any update on this? Seems like something that should have been corrected long ago. Definitely needed.

From another frustrated lead developer, this is a problem with some of the designs we create in our eLearning company. Please make this available so we can use the darker backgrounds without losing the bullets to a dull gray color.

While we're waiting a long time for what should be an easy fix, the only alternative is to add JS code to the html5 output. Use 'querySelector' to get the bullet list, and force change ths css color.

This works for html/SCORM output.

I agree that the delay in addressing many minor issues in Articulate products is far too long. We have invested in the leading brand for eLearning development but it lets itself down constantly by not delivering these types of changes.

Why not let those of us who are interested become beta testers and trusted advisers, so you can build a truly world class product?

Just came across this issue in my course development - please fix!

I think it's very rare that someone would want the bullets to be a different colour than the text, so I'm not sure why Articulate products don't default to having bullets the same colour as the text, like in Word. This is super frustrating.

I would also like to vote on this. I have found multiple forums on here asking for the same update for 4 YEARS! Get it together already...

I totally agree. It's a standard feature in any programme that the bullet points follow the text colour. We have even had to change our course build from Rise to another programme just because of this missing feature. Please fix this ASAP!

This thread has been going for 2 years. I don't think Articulate sees this as a priority. The most frustrating aspect of this is that it's a very simple fix from a programming perspective, so it wouldn't take a great deal of resources for them to implement.

This has been an issue for me as well and the only "workaround" I could find was using alt codes to create bullets and then customize the color. If you're not familiar with ALT codes check out the following link https://altcodeunicode.com/

This gets my vote too! Come on Articulate. This is Microsoft level apathy on your part!

I'm not sure why this is taking so long to roll out (it's been an open issue for 4 years). Adjusting the color of a bullet should be a standard (let alone all the other basic type manipulation this software lacks). At the very least make it so the color of the bullet matches the text if you can do it quicker. I realize you are trying to "dumb this down" to make it easier to edit/faster to create, but your user base isn't as dumb as you surmise. Looks matter in most industries and we should have way more control over the type within the platform.
