Change Tooltip Background Colour and Transparency

It would be useful to be able to change the background colour and transparency of the tooltip to highlight and colour-code, and to allow parts of the visual to be seen behind it. The latter would be extremely useful when comparing data in visuals and for when you have a tooltip with a lot of measures listed as the tooltip can often get in the way.

I second that. Please add more controls of the tooltip (eg holding Ctrl button would make it stick so that a hyperlink within the tooltip can be selected) including the default positioning option per visual i.e. top/bottom/left/right.

'Native, dark tooltip give very awesome UX when background is configured slightly transparent. Power BI propose to configure transparency, both : - in the parent visual's "tooltip / background" section (usually) - in the tooltip page's background setting Bur none of them end up with some transparency on the actual tooltip. This is not rational (big ?). And this is disapointing.

I would also love having ability to have different tooltip based on the visual context. e.g possibility to have a tooltip specific to a "category column" of a matrix and another one different when hovering on the summarized values. For now you can only have one tooltip for a given visual.

Would like to see a tooltip with a transparent background option - essentially no background so that the text in the tooltip in is the foreground

I would also like to have more options on tooltips (transparency background + position + ability to scroll on the tool tip tab for instance)

It's worth adding that transparency is required for report page tooltips.

This is definitely needed for report page tooltips. This will save me a lot of mental straining, which is the aim of presentation anyways.

Transparency is needed as well as the auto fitting of table to the page size is also required.
