Hey all! We’ve implemented the new course player yesterday for our users.

But while testing, we noticed an illegible link while looking at learning plans, via: My Courses and Learning Plans > open a learning plan > click on the “Resume Training” (or “Retake the Learning Plan” button if the learning plan was completed).

On that page, there is a “Go to learning plan page” link -

And that was black-on-black for us when we switched. I reached out to support about it, and the colour for this can be configured via: Configure Branding and Look > Colors > Accent Text & Links.

However, we’re struggling because that is also the configuration for links in the admin menu. We can’t find a colour that works on both the new dark background AND the white admin menu, that also remains accessible for our users.

The support rep recommended that we do custom CSS for this, but I imagine others are going to run into this as well who aren’t able/willing to implement custom CSS to fix it.

Have others run into this? Am I missing something obvious?

Ciao ​@Sarahh, and thank you for bringing this to our attention. We are aware that only selecting a very dark color, as in this case, leads to a graphical glitch in the dark theme where the links in this layout lack adequate contrast and become difficult to see.

This is an issue we are committed to addressing. We are currently exploring options to expand the color customization settings available in “Configure branding and look”, which will not only enhance personalization but also resolve this problem.

In the meantime, the suggestion provided by the support team is correct. You can target with CSS the negative color token for "Accent text & links" elements and assign it a different color variable to resolve the issue quickly.


@Alessandro Ortolina Thanks for the response!

Perfect, this is great news. As it is right now, for the "Accent text & links" setting, we can’t find an accessible colour selection (high enough contrast) that would work for both black and white backgrounds. So this would be great!
