Slicer "Clear Selection" icon color attribute

I'd like to see the ability to set the color of the eraser icon (clear selection) in a slicer header to something different than the default grey.

When you use a dark color background (let's say Dark Green) with light color font (let's say medium Orange), it's very difficult for users to see the default grey eraser and clear their selections.

If some of the color setting attributes that were just added to visual headers could be brought to the Slicer header I belive the issue would be resolved.

How can such a simple thing still not be implemented? This is really frustrating...

Its very frustrating for users as they are unable to see this icon when colour is applied.

I would say this not a good accessibility approach if power bi report builders don't have the option to change the colour for easier visualisation.

This is definitely a need, not a want. As is, this creates confusion for those utilizing developed reports.

Please fix ASAP!! - Should not need votes for this. Clear filter feature rendered useless when applying color.

I agree, with others - come on Microsoft! Please, we cannot use medium to dark backgrounds at all because the eraser doesn't show up. Please consider adding this - at the very least, why isn't it the same color as the header text? With this you wouldn't have to build in another color selection feature.

Coming up on 3 years since this idea was first posted. For those of us with dark colored corporate themes this would be a major help. I don't know what the internal development challenges may be, but it's difficult to imagine this is anything more than some quick programming for an intern. We've been provided with at least a dozen formatting options for the visual header. Thank you, but please...
