Change background of icon

[Anonymous]

Hey everyone,

I want to make my dashboards more vivid by addings icons. However, the background color of those icons should be in line with my dashboard. For now, I set the image to the background and have a text box with the theme color I use. But the disadvantage is that the icon somewhat disappears. I only want that the white background is affected by the theme color, and the black icon stays intact. Is this possible?

I hope the two images make it more clear: as you can see, the 'callcentre guy' is less clear as in the original one.

Hi everyone,

I found a solution for this, which lays outside the options in Power BI. 

You've to make sure that there's no background color. In that case the image itself is not affected by the visual in the background. 

You can delete the background color by using the follwing site: https://www.remove.bg/

There are probably more website or other options to remove the background, but this is the way I do it.

@V-lianl-msft ,
Thanks for trying and replying to me 🙂

It's unfortunate, but it does make sense of course.

I checked your file. I think I can only achieve the second visual and can't fill the color of the blank area in the picture. This picture is independent of Power BI and cannot change the background color of the picture.

Hey @Anonymous ,

you can just put the icon in front of the green card and then group them in the selection pane. Like this the icon should not be affected by the background color.

If you need any help please let me know.

If I answered your question I would be happy if you could mark my post as a solution ✔️ and give it a thumbs up 👍

Best regards

Hey @selimovd , 

thanks for your reply! I did group it together, but the result remains the same. That's not what I want. The image itself should not be affected by the green color. Only the white parts (so his head, chest and the white space around the person) should become green. The rest, so really the image itself, should stay dark.

Hey @Anonymous ,

can you share the file with me? Or at least the part with the fomatted graphics?

I think that's easier than the message ping-pong.

Best regards

Denis
