Slicers - Missing theme setting for search box background #8

Open MattRudy opened 2 years ago

Source: Cloned from Issue 18 created by @aaronsteers in the original repository.

Part 1 I'm not sure if this is a missing setting or missing configurability on the Power BI product side.

Currently, the background color for a slicer search box is always "white" (#ffffff) and the search box text color appears to be pulled from the top-level theme "foreground" setting - which for a dark mode is likely also "white". The result is a white-on-white search box that isn't readable - and worse, if typed in by the user creates an invisible filter against the slicer's context.

The only workaround I have found is to completely disable search boxes in slicers and then hope the user does not re-enable them. This is especially painful for "dark mode" themes (my use case) but it may be affecting others as well.

Any assist or workaround would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Part 3 Temporary workaround is to use a non-white color (blue in the below example) for the "label" text class.

Example:

{
 "name": "sample theme snippet",
  "textClasses": {
    "label": {
      "fontSize": 12,
      "fontFace": "Segoe UI",
      "color": "#c2d8fe"
    }
  }
}

Part 4 Update: When setting the "label" text class, this also overrides the default text box color - which also appears to not be independently configurable. It would therefor be helpful to know if there's also a way to override the default font color for text boxes. (The repo here shows a sample to override the background color but not the default text color for text boxes.)

Investigating this as a solution - set the font/background defaults for everything on the base level '*' of a slicer, then overwrite them all for items, background, title, etc.
