White page shadow with dark theme?

I have a report with a custom 'Dark Theme' that works great, however I cannot seem to remove this white shadow between the usable page and the outspace/wallpaper. I do have shadows configured for visuals, but if I change the shadow to red this white shadow stays white. I can't seem to get rid of this white shadow! Any advice?

Hi @jhayes0128 

 

I think this might assist. There is the Canvas Background and the Wallpaper.  I have a slight shadow with the below options:

Now, when I turn the Canvas Background to 100% transparent, the shadow goes away:

If you can use the Wallpaper as the basis of your dark theme, switch the canvas to complete transparency (100%), you should find the shadow goes away.

 

Hope this helps!

Theo 🙂

Perfect, thank you! I usuall apply a background image and so changing the Background to 100% means that image will no longer show; work around, keep Background at 100% and insert an image as a "background" in order to eliminate that wallpaper/background light shadow.
