Dimming brightness of background visuals

[JustSayJoe]

What I'm trying to accomplish: 

When I click on my button, the action opens a bookmark displaying an additional set of slicers and notes within a shape. However, when I have this additional shape open, I would like to dim the brightness of the background visuals, thus making the additional shape with the slicers and notes stand out to the user. When I collapse the additional shape, I would like the background visuals to return to their original brightness. Is this possible?

Hi @JustSayJoe ,

An option I have used before is to add a shape to fit the page and set it's colour and transparency to the desired settings. Then in the bookmark make sure its visible, below the slicer shape and above the other visuals. 

This is demostrated really well in the 1st report from BI Elite's Youtube report competition: https://training.bielite.com/contest-april-2021-youtube-analysis/

Yes! This is exactly what I was looking for. The funny part is, that's the exact link I got the idea from. I just wasn't sure how they accomplished it. Appreciate the assist.

Hello @JustSayJoe ,

If you create instead of one visual, for each visual in your page put two same visuals on top of each other, and make one of them with dimm and one of them, normal background.

then put two bookmarks, one for once you add slicer and one when you click to close slicers. for one you add slicer, hide normal visuals in your bookmark. and for one when you close slicers, hide dimm visuals.

it will work like toggle light/dark mode.

I will add my blogpost for toggle here, maybe it helps you for how to do that.

I hope it helps you.

Your solution would have probably worked, but it would have taken me quite a bit longer than the accepted solution I got from another community member. Thanks for the response though. Much appreciated!

Hi @JustSayJoe ,

Have you tried using the Spotlight feature instead? As you can see on the screnshot below, the visual with spotlight turned on stands out with the rest kinda of washed out.

Spotlight wasn't quite what I was looking for, but I got my answer from another community member. Thanks for reaching out though. Much appreciated.
