Hi Renz, Alyssa, Christel, Allyson, Rosemary and all other staff members involved,
Could you please tell me what the status is on these requests to be able to change the colour and font on the title page? As you can see in my attachment, the title is hardly eligible.
Hi Rosanne! Thanks for following up on this. I'm sorry we don’t have an update right now regarding the additional formatting of the course title. If we have any news on this, we will definitely update this thread so you all will hear about it!
I am sooo with you all! We need this very basic feature to meet our learners needs and to comply with branding guidelines of our organization. Thank you!
Having the ability to change font color is an essential component to align with current accessibility standards. This should be moved to top priority on the roadmap.
Another request for this basic design functionality please. A lot of issues with clients that don't understand why we can't very simply change the title and topic colours to match their branding.
Hi, I would also like to be able to change the title colour- seems a basic thing. Could this be put on the roadmap?
Also, I have manually changed the font colour throughout as we have had requests to make it more dyselxia friendly so I am using a dark blue on a pale cream background but...there doesn't seem to be a way to change the colour of the bullet points so I am ending up with black bullet points and dark blue text which doesn't look great. Any suggestions?
I just requested a custom photo from my marketing team with a white background and a custom branded character and realize that I won't be able to do this since the Font has to be white. Our branded character is dark and must be on a white background.
It is disappointing that this hasn't been responded to in over a year.
Mary, it's extremely frustrating. We've created a workaround for our situation by just adding a blue (company color) box to the image where the title text, etc would reside... and then using the rest of the image space for the white background, company logo/mascot, etc. The problem being that depending on how many characters the title text has, you have to accommodate by resizing the box in the image. And even then, when viewing Rise courses on other devices, everything I've stated above gets thrown out the window. We just tell ourselves everyone is using a desktop/laptop and shove our heads in the sand. Lol. It's far from ideal, but just trying to work with what we have. :(
Kevin, I was working on this when you responded. Do you know why the "photo" I created is white on the right third with my icon but when I upload to Rise that area is a dull grey. I have tried saving my cover photo as both a .png and .jpeg and get the same result.
Mary, is it just in a particular area of the image or the entire image? You can now select down to 0% on the Text Contrast. That will make sure the image is at it's full brightness and original color. Try that and see if it fixes your problem.
(this option is in Settings under Theme > Cover Photo)
I just submitted a feature request to be able to change the course title font color. Our company is in the process of making all our training accessible, and for a company like Articulate who is actively working on making all interactions in Rise accessible, this seems like a pretty basic feature to update.
Hi, Karen! Thanks for submitting a feature request. We have this documented and we'll update you hear if we make this feature available. You're in the right place!
Hello, another vote for allowing for font color customization for titles, hope it will be in your team's roadmap as it was first requested 2 years ago. Thank you!
So this initial question was asked over 3 years ago and it still hasn't been developed by the articulate engineers? That seems a bit ridiculous for such a basic feature.
And still ... no option to change the font color for the course title. C'mon, Articulate! This is actually an accessibility issue in addition to a branding request. When can we expect to see this basic option implemented?
One important thing to note with the Course Title always being white, is that this fails WCAG and ADA requirements for color contrast. Over half of the default banner accent colors fail this requirement when using a white font.
At the very least, allowing a black font would bring you into ADA compliance.
+1- Come o n Articulate. Not being able to have black as a default font option is creating a lot of accessibility issues. Please prioritize accessibility. This feature has been requested for over 3 years.

Yay! More 2 year old requests that have never progressed. I can't imaging changing the color of a title to be difficult to implement.

I could also be nice, to be able to set in a lineshift in the course title.

Well said Kevin. VERY basic formatting we are asking for here. How hard can it be to change the coding to allow font color changes in the title???

I would like to add a request for this feature, although after 3 years it seems like this small-effort update isn't likely going to happen.

I agree. For a long time, I've seen countless people request that there be more control over font color.

Thanks Kevin! That is exactly what I needed to do. The workaround worked but took some time! I appreciate you sharing your knowledge.
