    Thankyou Rupa01  for Addressing the issue.

     

    Hi tecumseh  ,

    Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Fabric Community Forum,

    As  suggested  there is currently no option to change the Clear Selection (eraser) icon color in Power BI Desktop, Below are few alternative approches to resolve your issue.

    • Use a lighter background color for the navigation bar or slicer (instead of #666666) to improve the icon's visibility.
    • Apply a different report theme to see if the icon rendering provides better contrast.
    • Try a different slicer style (e.g., List instead of Dropdown) if it meets the report design requirements.
    • Use a Reset button or Bookmark to clear slicer selections instead of relying on the built-in eraser icon.
    • If the behavior started after upgrading to Power BI Desktop June 2026, test with an earlier Desktop version to determine whether it is a regression.
    • If none of the above are acceptable, raise a Microsoft Support ticket or submit feedback through the Power BI Ideas portal, as the icon color is currently not user-configurable.

    These are the only practical workarounds until Microsoft introduces support for customizing the Clear Selection icon color.

     

    Thanks,

    Chaithanya.

Hi tecumseh,

Currently there's no option available in Power BI directly to change the color of the "Clear Selection" Icon.

 

A simple workaround is to customize the theme to change the icon color as below - 

View > Themes > Customize current theme > Names and colors > Advanced > Change color to white for first & second-level elements > Apply

 

Note - This change will apply to all the first & second-level elements, check below links for more info on the affected elements and themes.
