Changing the colour of the checkbox in a Slicer Drop Down

Anyone have ideas regarding how they were able to change the checkbox colour in this PowerBI example on the Learn Tab? I have looked everywhere in the back-end, even tried to use the same backgroud colour and I cannot replicate the light colour of the checkbox to look like the text colour.  There have been issues logged before but I cannot figure this one out.  Using any dark colour is now completely pointless if this feature is not an option.

Hi, @PBLearning2023 @RoshanK  as I mentioned in my previous answers this element is generic we can't change the color of these squares.

Hi @PBLearning2023 ,

 

Did you figure out any way? I am facing the same problem!

No, it looks like the default is light grey and I need white for it to stand out.

Hi @PBLearning2023 
What do you mean by checkbox color?
Additionally, there are 2 backgrounds types:

1. Of all slicer's area and it is here:

2. Background of values like in the picture : ( you can of course use same color at both of them)

You can also have the advantage of the search option of the formatting editor and just enter "back..." and it will find all options with this string.

I am looking at how to change the outline of the checkbox.  You can change the colour of the text but that is it.  If I want a background ALL dark my check box cannot be viewed.  This is the example that I found in the library and I would like it to look similar.

Hi @PBLearning2023 
If you are talking about little squares, you can't change their color, they are always light grey, also in your picture.
you can change the background, borders, title, and text colors.
It looks exactly like in your picture :

Sadly I need to have those boxes in white to stand out more.  It is too difficult to see for the users.
