Change the color of a marker on a labeled graphic in Rise
Can you change the color of a marker on a labeled graphic in Rise?
Hi everyone! In today's update for Rise 360, we added the ability to select your marker color! 🎉 I'm really excited about this one. Just go to the labeled graphic settings, and you'll see a field for marker color.
You can also check out the release notes here. Have a great day!
it would be nice if I could change the marker color independent of the accent color. I'm using a marker on an image that has a lot of white - so the white version of the marker is getting lost in the background.
Hi Amy! I'm tagging this discussion to be updated with any changes we make to the markers. Thanks for adding your voice!
Hi Crystal,
I'm adding my voice to this as well. 90% of what I use this feature for is labeling screenshots for web tools. All of the web tools (Confluence, Workday, Salesforce, etc.) default to having black text on a white background. The markers just don't appear.
My solution is to tint the image so the white is gray, but it is a silly problem to have. I would be happy with an "invert" option where I could set the marker to be the accent color by default and turn gray on hover.
Cheers,
Mark

Thanks for checking in, Joshua! Our team is working on a feature that will allow you to use a custom marker color in a labeled graphic, and we plan to release that enhancement soon.
Great question, Jim! The marker color is controlled by the accent color theme that you chose in Settings.
In this example, my accent color is green. The Labeled Graphic marker will first appear white with a green icon, and then green with a white icon when clicked.
Hi Liz: I was looking at Marker tweaking today and saw your tutorial on enhancing markers via color. Thanks for the reminder of doing something different to effect the need! Unfortunately, at this point in the dev cycle the marker style still cannot be edited. So, we are still at the behest of the + symbol. Very best and have a great '22!
Hi Edward,
To change the color of the markers, find your Labelled Graphic block and click on Settings.
On the second row, you will see the option Marker Color on the right.
Either enter a Hex code or choose a color from the palette.
I submitted a formal request but thought I would post in here also.
I am new to Articulate, but this was the first thing I noticed when creating Labeled Graphics. Until full customization of marker colors is available, I would suggest creating the option to flip/invert the Accent Color Theme specifically for the markers. A toggle switch could easily live right below the Marker Style (when editing the Labeled Graphic).
For example If my Accent Color Theme is Green:
By default, the Labeled Graphic marker will first appear white with a green icon, and then green with a white icon when clicked.
Alternatively, if I was to toggle the ‘Invert Color’ switch, the Labeled Graphic marker will first appear green with a white icon, and then white with a green icon when clicked.very good to hear that the labeled graphic will be customizable soon. I'm running into the same issue that my background has a lot of white so I'd want to invert
