how to fix dark on dark in dropdown menu

I've set the "innovate" theme and it's all great but the dropdowns in filters

look like this now

while I would rather have them look like these 

tried different visual options in the filter ribbon, but these apply only to the visible parts, or else - I couldn't figure how to influence the dropdown menu

 

 

also, I've noticed that a similar problem happens in MSMS 18.4 (visual here) after selecting a dark theme in options, which made me wonder whether it's not some visual override directly from w10 settings (I use a dark theme, but nothing like that happens in eg. file explorer)

 

how do I fix this?

Hi @fsfs ,

 

Are you using the latest version of power bi desktop? Based on my test, it show like yours when I use the latest version of power bi desktop. But it work well in previous version. I suggest you try to use previous version of power bi desktop:https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/fundamentals/desktop-latest-update-archive

thanks for your reply, would you kindly show me the options you chose in the filter pane and filter cards to achieve the result above?

 

in my case it seems like the "input box color" option in the filter cards applies properly (the dropdown background changes colors), but the "font and icon color" is only applied to the visible/chosen option in the filter (the rest stays black in the dropdown menu - picture attached )

Hi @fsfs ,

 

The default color for selection pane is white, there is no option for it to change to blue. You can set color for filter cards to make it look smoothly:

 

In the report, click the report itself, or the background (wallpaper), then in the Visualizations pane, select Format. You see options for formatting the report page, the wallpaper, and also the Filters pane and Filter cards.

For more details ,please refer to https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/create-reports/power-bi-report-filter#format-the-filters-p...

thanks for your reply @amitchandak

but it's not about the colors of graphs

 

I've checked several other color schemas and the problem persists, like the PBID/MSMS weren't ready for the dark mode with menus and stuff
