Hello,
Does anyone knows how to set the card background default color and transparency in a new PowerBI Theme?
Thank you
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Anonymous,
JSON them file provides "background" and "transparency" properties allows us to set background color and transparency for a specific visual. Please refer to the sample in this article.
