Changing bullet color to match font in new drag & drop email editor
I used to be able to change the bullet colors to match the color of the fonts in the email editor, but the new drag & drop editor has removed that feature. I've checked with support and was told that you can't do that. So my suggestion is if it's impossible to change the styling, at least make it so that you can add another style to your fonts (in the design tab). That way, I could have a white font with white bullets (when I used dark-colored boxes) and a black font with black bullets (when the background is lighter). Thanks!
This is definitely a need! I would also love to have the option to change what the bullet point looks like as well as spacing.
Anyone still frustrated by this, there is a workaround that isn't great but at least it works. You can go to the design tab, go to "Text styles" and change the "Paragraph" color to the color that you'd like for your bullet points. Then you can manually go through the text in the rest of the email and change the font color back to what it was previously.
Hi Bryan_m, I was looking for a solution and also didn't have any joy so I did some hunting. It is fairly straightforward to add a line to the source code. Even for users with limited coding experience it should be simple enough. Just Edit the Element containing your bullets and select the text with the Bullets.
I want white bullets as mine are currently black. With the text selected, at the top Style menu, click on the More Dropdown menu and click Source Code
This will take you to the html code for that element. We need to assign a hexcode Style color to the <ul>
This is the code I added to <ul> - it should read <ul style="color: #ffffff;">
For different colors, you would change the #ffffff to the Hexcode color you want for your bullets.
If you want to use the other types of bullets, your <ul> will already have style attributes assigned to it. You can just add the colour: #ffffff; (or whatever your hexcode is)
This is the code for the empty circle bullet:
This is the code for the square bullet:
Click Save Changes when you are done.
I agree it would be nice if this was WYSIWYG and built into the Drag & Drop mail editor!
That is reallyinteresting. I do not have that in my edit menu. The </> does nothing when I click it. You want to know something funny. I tried following your instructions in this mark up window. I can actually make the change but the system will not save it. Says invalid format. It previews the change but will not let me save it. SOOOOOOOO
Plot thickens. I tried getting to the source code a different way. I found out that the landing page I am using might have been created from a template.
TerBak thanks for all the suggestions. That is how I get the message about the page is based of a template and cannot get to the source. Not a big deal but thanks for all the suggestions....
