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.

Still a huge pain as it limits so much the design flexibility. Please give us an attribute where we can change that. If not in the UI then in the Design-JSON at least.Thanks!

This is a much needed feature, and it's mindblowing that it hasn't been implemented yet. Get your act together, Microsoft!

This is ridiculous that this hasn't been addressed. Hundreds of votes, years of requests. Come on Microsoft just do it already!

With a transparent slicer background, the ability to color match the clear selection icon to the header and/or title color would enhance the UI tremendously. Not everyone who consumes Power BI Reports/Apps knows the intricate workings of the visuals. When dates are concerned, this could even be a potential danger if an end user does not instinctively see a way to clear all selections. (Heck, I designed the reports, and still accidentally spend 5-10 minutes frantically searching for a reason why my totals are way short for the year.)

This has been a topic for four years, and yet it still hasn't been fixed?? How many upvotes do you need?

It will help the customer experience using slicers because depending on the background colour it makes those icons hard to see.

Small change but it would help a lot!

RE: Slicer "Clear Selection" icon color attribute

I stumbled with an effective way to change the color of these buttons. 1- Go to the View tab and expand the theme selection dropdown.2- Click on Customize current theme.3- Go to Advanced 4 -Change the Second-level elements to the light color of your choosing.That should fix the Icons, please be aware that most likely other elements on the report will change to that color as well.so far, all other things that changed for me are editable from the report format pane.
