How to Set Default Transparency to 100% in Power BI?

Hi everyone,

I am currently customizing Power BI and would like to set the default transparency for the background of the visualization to 100% or to be able to turn the background off. Currently, I have to manually adjust the transparency each time I create a new visualization.

Is there a way to configure this default value to 100%? Should I modify the capabilities file or use another method?

Hi @DavidAnthony  It is possible to set the Default background to 100%. You just need to configure the Current theme and you can also export the theme Json to use it future dashbboard developments.

1. Got to View -> Customize Current Theme

2. Visuals-> Background -> Set it to 100%. Click Apply

Now every Visual you create should have transparent background by default.

 

Hope it helps 🙂 Appreciate a Kudos !
