Conditional Formatting on Page Background under Visualization's Format Settings

It would be nice to have a background that would change colors based on a selected value on the page, or a tooltip page changing its background color based on the selected filter's value.
The page background does not allow that currently.
Need to have conditional formatting enabled for changing the background colors of a page based on different values on the report.

hi   @Anonymous 

For your case, I would suggest you use a card visual, then set same conditional formatting for Data label and Background of the card vsiual and disable Category of the visual in Format pane.

of course please push it to the back via the Format menu, Send Backward button so it is under everything else on your report.

Hi,

insert a rectangle as the background of your page and set conditional formatting for the background of it.

Frankly, I love the 'Jugaad' and 'hack' behind your solution.  And i use the same idea most of the time.

However, the reason behind my posting about a topic on the PAGE background, was to have that function added to the Power BI desktop as well. If they have given some page level abilities to the users they need to make it more formattable and add more features to it like Conditional formatting based on rules , or setting a wallpaper conditionally. Or changing the font color of the entire page according to the report page/tab rules. 

While setting shapes and visuals to format conditionally and sizing them to be equal to the page would do the trick but that's just a cover up and not the actual solution that we want to see from Microsoft. 

Thanks @FrankAT , @v-lili6-msft and @edhans for your valuable inputs. 

Make sure @Anonymous that the rectangle @FrankAT mentions is pushed to the back via the Format menu, Send Backward button so it is under everything else on your report.
