After some searching for a way to change more that one block at a time I got to this post. Sadly there seems no change after over 2 years of discussions as many others have pointed out as well.
As much as I support adding a variety of global settings on the layout, my need is slightly different in that I like to change a selection of blocks at the same time. Obviously selecting "all" would achieve a global change.
Background for my request, coming from PPT I used slide background colour to identify a slide development status for reviewers so they can concentrate on slides coloured for review only. I know Rise has a review function, but, unless I'm missing something, that does not relate to a specific block so is quite useless as a reviewer will have to look at all blocks or other means needs to used to identify just what needs to be reviewed/approved.
Being able to select a number and/or range of blocks (similar to creating a template) and then change the settings for those would really help.
Hi, Peter! Thank you for sharing your ideas on how we can improve Rise! I'll share this with my team and we'll let you know if we make any changes that will help!
Hi, I'm wondering where Articulate is at creating a global background color change option in settings. Thank you!
Definitely +1 vote for the global colour option!
But also want to reiterate the request for increased control of formatting in a text block!! it's very frustrating not to be able to have more control over line spacing and have tidy bullet points etc.

Checking in to ask if this has been changed. Did you know that a pure white background is specifically not recommended by some of the leading 508 and web design experts? It would be so great to have the option to change the entire background to something less harsh, especially for learning assets where students may be staring at it for hours/days.
I know someone mentioned above that we do have the option to put words on colored BG in PowerPoint and export as an image. The challenge there is it isn't 508 compliant for screen readers so we'd have to put all of the text in alt text.
Thanks!
I would love the ability to modify the overall background of a Rise course to a faint tessellating pattern. And I'd love to be able to edit any templated patterns Articulate might provide. Something like sports or education or travel icons in a spaced, subtle, professional tessellation that I can control the 'zoom level; of on a project basis (not by block) would be amazing, Maybe even change this background on a section by section basis.
+1 to global background colour.
Global coloring request is good, has this been implemented yet? Would also like an option to use an image in the background, it will look good for interactions such as timeline or cards, if we don't want to use individual images for each item of these. Is there any way we can do this currently?
Thanks for adding your voice for the Global background color feature. There isn't any update on this request, but we'll keep this thread posted for any new information!
As for using an image as a background for blocks, we're also tracking requests for this feature. I'll add you to the list and let you know of any updates that can help!
+1 to global background colour
This thread is approaching the 5 year mark since it was first posted, so why has nothing changed?
There is a clear interest and need to see this change implemented, so why is it taking so long?
+1 - Any movement on this request?
Another vote for global background color change.
I am spending my morning changing all the blocks to be a friendlier colour for colleagues with dyslexia. In an age of making things accessible, is there not one button I can click to add a default background colour that is not white?
Come on, Articulate. This is such a simple feature.
I use Rise a ton for my work, and it's really frustrating that whenever I try to look up a common, low tech feature like this, I invariably find threads like this where people have been asking for that same feature for YEARS and it's still not a thing. Please speed up your product updates. It's painful.
Good news, everyone! You can now customize your blocks with distinctive color and image backgrounds using enhanced block settings! Check out the new feature, and let us know what you think!
Thank you so much! It looks great!
Can I apply a custom colour to multiple blocks at once?
Hi Stephanie! Currently, there isn't a way to apply custom color globally to your course.
However, we are tracking requests for this ability in Rise. I'll be glad to add your name to the list so that you'll get notified if we make changes that will help.
I would also love for this to be a global option, also is there a way to apply this to the headings and the frontpage, for consistancy
That's great. But is there a way to change the BG color of the entire page? I often have a block that doesn't take the entirety of the page leaving a large white space in the bottom... :(
Hi Michel,
The background color can only be changed on a per block basis, but I'll add your voice to a feature request that we have open to add the background color as a controlling theme setting.
If Articulate just would change the CSS for the background of blocks to a CSSvar then that variable could be easily changed globally. Either in settings or just locally in the CSS after publishing.
PS: It apparently is already a CSSvar: --color-background: #e1adad;
Figuring out where that variable is set and if it is global.
