Column dividers or coolumn color differences on chart

I was hoping someone knew a way to get the dividers on the columns for the months in my chart shown below to extend all the way up to better clarify the change of months.  If that is not possible, is there a way to change the color of the budget columns to better differentiate?  Can both be done?

Hi @Anonymous ,

Agree with parry2k , you can not achieve both of the options.
You can post your ideas here and give a thumbs up. Maybe your ideas will be adopted and realized one day in the future:
Fabric Ideas - Microsoft Fabric Community

Or you can choose to change the color of the Data Label, which can be modified:
Use this DAX to create a measure:

Color = 
SWITCH(
    SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Type]),
    "Actuals", "Yellow",
    "Budget", "#00EEFF"
)
