Power BI Style - Drop Shadow

Does anyone in the community know how to add a Drop Shadow to style their visualizations.

 

Certainly you could "fake one" by drawing a shape, but how do you make sure it cannot be selected accidentally by the user?

 

Appreciate the feedback.

@Anonymous,

As your post, we can draw a shape to style the visualizations, however, it is not possible to prevent users from accidentally selecting the shape. There is an idea about locking selection of shapes, please vote it up.
