Visual backgrounds default to white

Hello,

 

When I try to copy my visuals as an image, the background always defaults to white. Here is what I have tried so far

  • Copy image
  • Copy image with caption
  • Visualizations -> General -> Effects -> background -> set a hex code with transparency 0%
  • Visualizations -> Format visual -> Plot area background -> set an image as the background
  • View -> Themes -> Customize current theme -> Advanced -> Set "Background elements"
  • View -> Themes -> Customize current theme -> Visuals -> Background
  • View -> Themes -> Customize current theme -> Page -> Wallpaper
  • View -> Themes -> Customize current theme -> Page -> Page background

Has anyone had this issue before?

Hi, @lighassaei 

Currently you mentioned that copy as image is not able to attach a background color is a limitation, you can view it from the link below:

You can choose an alternative solution, you can apply some screenshot tools, such as Snipaste, just press F1 to take a screenshot. It's relatively simple and easy to get started.
