Background Color Control for the Mobile Report Layout

[aharper382]

My main report has black background and white text.  When trying to create a mobile view of the report in Phone Layout, I cannot set the background color I want and this causes the text to disappear vs. the default white background, when viewing it on the phone. 

Please add functionality to control the background color in the Phone Report Layout view.

Thanks,

Adam Harper

I’ve reported it internally to Power BI Team: CRI 33929152
I’ll post here once I get any update about it.

Please try on the new released Mobile app to see if it works now.

Hi, looks like it work on the mobile, but it's still impossible to see a different background in power bi desktop. I still see the default white background, meaning that it is nearly impossible to place my different elements as they are also all white text!

It seems that the fix is only implemented in the Mobile version at that time. Could you please try with the latest June 2017 version of Power BI Desktop to see if issue persists? If yes, you can create another new thread (Issue) for it.

Hi @v-haibl-msft Herbert,

I confirm this is working now in PBI Desktop. Thanks a lot for the fix!

Hello, encouraged to hear this matter has been resolved. 

I am using the August 2021 version and am still not seeing an option to change the background color for mobile view in PBI Desktop.  Could you please provide some guidance on how to do this?

Thanks,

Jackson
