ActiVote result colors

[kellee]

Does anyone know if you can change the colors of the results of ActiVotes? We find the blue backround with black letters impossible to read.
We're running version 2.2.45 on iBook G4's and Mac Mini's running OS 10.4.5
Thanks,
Kellee

Hi Kellee,

I have been off the forums for a few days and did not see this. Are you talking about when the chart comes up after a quiz question?

Yes, that's just what I'm talking about...the results chart comes up a blue background with black lettering...no amount of changing screen/projector contrast/brightness makes it really "right"...that blue simply needs to be a lighter color...(visual literacy 101!)

If anyone knows how to change those colors, I'd love to hear......

I just did my firts activote session with my mac (I was on PC last year). I see what you mean. If you choose one of the answers as being the correct answer then the colors should which to red and green and are much easier to read. I know this may not be appropriate depending on what types of question that you as but it will be easer to read the results and the response times.

I hope someone fromt he programming group at Promethean notices this one and comments. There might be a work around.

If you paste your blue pie chart onto the f/c page with the paste button near the bottom of the ACTIVote results window, you can then use the fill tool to colour the sections.
