How to Remove Background Color in Matrix Visual Column Headers

I have a matrix visual with column headers, which I would like to remove the background on:

I'm looking for this option:

Please note: 

* When I click "Reset to default," it resets the background color to White, not blank.

* I don't want to choose any solid color because the entire report has an image background, which I'd like to be visible. 

 

Many thanks for any tips!

Hi , Hope you are doing well!

You can achieve this by changing the style of your matrix visual.

In the format pane, you have to navigate to Layout settings, In the provided options, select None as your matrix layout.

Once its done, you have to turn off the background from the effects setting.

In this way you can achieve your requirement.
