Scrims

Does anyone use scrims?  I can't find much about them other than the intro and instruction pieces, and a broad search of the Power BI communities using "scrims" returns zero results.

    Had to look up what scrims are, but they are background pictures in your report pages?

    What is your question on the topic?

      Thanks for writing.  I’m a moderately experienced Power BI user, and have been at it since 2016 or so. I had never heard of scrims before I bumped into an article via Google, and it seems like a weird set up, buying them from MS at $10 per, with a very limited variety of offerings, given the ubiquity of most graphical objects like GIF’s and such.  So I Googled a bit and was unable to find any mention other than the MS intro and instructional pieces – no discussion, no one on blogs, no aftermarket or scrim libraries…   hence my question about whether this is some one-and-done dead end that I just missed along the way, or if scrims are a (new?) and integral part of the Power BI tapestry.  Thanks a lot for any insights.

        Ah, well I had to Google it as well so I don't think it is an active often used feature lol
