It would be useful to be able to change the background colour and transparency of the tooltip to highlight and colour-code, and to allow parts of the visual to be seen behind it. The latter would be extremely useful when comparing data in visuals and for when you have a tooltip with a lot of measures listed as the tooltip can often get in the way.

Just to say that the option is there for transparency on custom tooltips, but it doesn't work.Please make it work! Thank you.

This is a poor substitute for Hide When Blank but better than the nothing we have currently.

Please add this. Custom tooltips look ridiculous without this feature.

We need transparency added to custom report tooltips to look uniform with other tooltip transparencies.

Transparency is needed as well as the auto fitting of table to the page size is also required.

This is definitely needed for report page tooltips. This will save me a lot of mental straining, which is the aim of presentation anyways.

RE: Change Tooltip Background Colour and Transparency

It's worth adding that transparency is required for report page tooltips.
