I'd like to see the ability to set the color of the eraser icon (clear selection) in a slicer header to something different than the default grey.

When you use a dark color background (let's say Dark Green) with light color font (let's say medium Orange), it's very difficult for users to see the default grey eraser and clear their selections.

If some of the color setting attributes that were just added to visual headers could be brought to the Slicer header I belive the issue would be resolved.

This is a clear need - I'm often build reports where I'm using brand colors that obscure the icons. It's a burden both on my QA team and the client.

Running into this issue now...two years after it was submitted. It would be great if this was a feature.

Come on Microsoft. This should be an easy fix!
This option should be available because otherwise you can never use a dark background with a slicer. The end user will not be able to see the eraser! Please add this functionality.

Obviously I wound up here because I was looking for how to do this same thing.

Agree this is needed - sometimes it's hard to see the eraser icon. Size and colour properties would improve functionality and UX. Also a "Clear All Slicers" button would be useful.
