formatting a slicer drop-down

I have a report that uses a dark theme.  If my slicer has a black background with white text, the drop-down ends up being a white background with white text (aside from the one that has the mouse hovering)

 

How do I change the background color (white) of the drop-down?

    Hi Anonymous,

     

    Normally, we could change the background color of the drop-down under item.

     

     

    If you still need help, please share a dummy pbix file which can reproduce the scenario, so that we can help further investigate on it? You can upload it to OneDrive or Dropbox and post the link here. Do mask sensitive data before uploading.)

     

    Best  Regards,

    Cherry

      My probleme is slightly different, the selection box on the left is black when selected, so we don't see it well, I haven't found any option to chose the color of the selection ðŸ˜ž

    It's under "Values" now. See screenshot below

    It seems like by default the background for the selected item is transparent but background for the dropdown is white. Once you select a colour it affects both.

    I'd like to re-open this thread, as Andyfoster states this isn't solved. 
    Changes in Power BI / Fabric made it so that the background doesn't work correctly anymore and I experience the same issue: 

     

    Background set to transparent, value color set to white and yet the background is also white instead of transparent:

     

    Anyone know the solution to this?

      Did you ever find a solution for this? I'm encountering this issue now. A workaround for now is to set the background to any color except transparent and then you can set the text color independently.
