Make page backround transparent?

Hi community,

I am seeking to make a page backround transparent so that the wallpaper images comes through.

I have tried creating an image in Photoshop, including a box for my page title, and with a transparent backround. When I load it however, the default page backround colour kicks in. If I play around with the transparency settings, the title box is obviously affected which is not what I want. I need to get rid of the default page backround colour, but there doesn't seem to be a setting for this.

 

Any workaround?

 

Thanks!.

Unfortunately the solution provided doesn't solve the issue. 

For most of my reports, I create backround images with title boxes and/or filter panes with fancy drop-shadow effects to embelish the aesthetics.

The issue arises when you add a wall paper and you wish to let it be seen through the report pages. Since changing the transparency of the backround image affects all elements (backround image and page colour, the elements such as title boxes lose there backround colour.

The idea would be to be to be able to set the backroung page colour transparency seprarately from the image backround transparency.

I have created some images to illustrate this.

The workaround is to import the title box + other elements as images instead of as part of a page backround image. This however is cumbersome and requires more fine tuning in Power BI.

I hope I understood you right.

 

You just need to import your Background Image and set the Tranparency to 0 Percent.

In Power BI you will always have background color.

 

Maybe you should play with the selection pane in order to place your images correctly?

 

Could you provide us with some examples or expected results in order to understand you right.

 

If this post was helpful may I ask you to mark it as solution and give it some kudos?

Have a nice day!
