Please provide an option to Select Default Fill Color for Shapes, when a measure is used for the Fill.





Reason:

 

Currently, if we set "Format Shape > Fill" to a static value, it renders fine.



However, if we use a measure for the Fill, the shape is always rendered first with the Default Fill Color ( current Theme's dataColor.Color1 ) before applying the measure value, causing an ugly flicker.



It becomes conspicuous especially when the dataColor.Color1 is dark eg. Red, and we are unable to modify the "Corporate" theme that is used across the organisation.

 


Alternative:



If possible, consider changing the Shape visual implementation to use the 'background' color class (currently WHITE ) instead of 'Color1' for the default fill.
