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.

Yes, please add another color selection for the Clear Selection eraser icon. We use a dark background for our reports and people in the ivory towers have a hard time navigating around when they can barely see the icon. I was told yesterday from one of the Kings on the hill they couldn't show a Queen something as he got lost in the weeds and didn't see the Clear Selection eraser icon :( It didn't help that he had the flu and he is in the mid-west at 50 below. Please add the color choice so we can update our slicers.

This is very important feature which needs to be addressed when you applying custom theme colors for all your header/title.

Yet another quick win I would think, good idea.

This is very frustrating, and I'd like to either see these colour changed in line with the font or given separate colour controls.
