In order to add some much needed colour to my courses I thought I'd change the background colour of my quote boxes. However it seems that you can't change the colour of the name attributed to the quote from black - is that right?
Also is there any way to get rid of the caption area when you upload a video into a course?
To change the color of the name in the quote block, highlight the text. When the floating toolbar appears, click the colors button. Pick the color of your choice, and click OK.
If you leave the caption area under the video blank, it will not appear when you preview the lesson or view the published course.
I've experienced the same issue, changing in the WYSISWG or the edit window doesn't allow you to change the colour. The picker is available but it always reverts to the course colour.
Useful discussion, thank you. I have just run into this problem as well. The issue is then compounded in that I was using Quote B style for the large font size. I can switch to Quote A and you do indeed gain contol over the font colour. However, it then appears we have o control over the font size, suggesting I have to choose between those two things. They seem relatively small points - could we have control over font size and colour in all Quote style variants? Thanks!
Thanks for your feedback, Jo. It sounds like you need more control over the design of quote blocks in Rise 360. I'll share your thoughts with our Product team!
Thanks! That would be great. Understand if font size is harder to flex because of rendering to all devices, but hard to envisage why colour would be an issue :)

Great questions, Desk 1!

Let me know if you have other questions!
Thanks Alyssa - I tried that but the colour just kept reverting back to black. Perhaps a gremlin in my Rise!
Hi Desk 1! Give the browser a refresh, and make sure you're working in a supported one, too. Let us know if you're still having trouble!
I've got a feeling the author/quote name has to stay as whatever you choose the Accent colour as - a bit likt the colour of the bullet points etc.
Hi, Desk 1! You should be able to customize that color.
Could you please share a short Peek 360 video of what's happening on your side? That way we can get a better idea of what you're seeing. Thanks!

Hi James!
It sounds like you may be using Quote B, and the author's name will always match the course theme color.
Try using Quote A instead, and you'll have full control over the font color.
