Hello,
There appears to be a bug with the button transparency. The transparency slider only changes the lightness or darkness of the button and doesn't change the opacity.
Screenshot of a supposedly 50% transparent button shown in gray:
These are the transparency settings for the button:
Shape transparency seems to be unaffected. This is only affecting buttons. If there is a fix or workaround any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you!
Solved! Go to Solution.
Had same problem. Turned out that the theme applied a backgroundcolor to buttons as well.
If you check the Button under the "General" option and then "Effects" -> "Background" it might be turned on there.
Thanks for the reply. I don't think I would have been able to resolve this without the pointer.
You were correct, the theme was the culprit. I'm using the default theme, so, to fix it, I went to "View" > Click the theme dropdown arrow next to the theme icons > Select "Customize current theme." Power BI then prompted me that Microsoft had made updates to the default theme and provided an option to update. I chose the option to update and the button transparency works again.
Thanks again!

Thank you so much. This was driving me nuts.
