Issue with Shadows and Non-rectangular shapes

Hi,

I'm having an issue with shadows. Any shape in Power BI has rectangular background, which can be made transparent. However, adding shadows to an object with transparent rectangular background doesn't result in an intended behaviour - the shadows appear around the background instead of the shape. For this reason, I think it might be impossible to create a button with rounded corners and a shadow. Does anyone have a solution for this issue?Button.JPG

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

You are correct about the shadows but you can make buttons using images, that way you can create your buttons on PowerPoint with the shadows and saved them to use on your model.

 

By luck Kevin Flerlage created the buttons and the tutorial
