About this background

Glassmorphism done the Power BI way: the glow and the frosted panels are baked into the background image, so you get the look without any custom visuals or transparency tricks that slow reports down. A cyan-tinted glow sits top-right behind the panels.

The layout has a header strip with room for the title and two slicers, three KPI panels, a wide main chart panel and two stacked side panels. Visuals placed on top should have a transparent background, no border and white or light-grey text (the Midnight Analytics theme sets this for you).

Glass panels are translucent white at about 6% opacity with a 1px light edge. If your visuals' own backgrounds are switched on, the effect disappears, so check Format → General → Effects → Background is off on every visual.

Where to place your visuals

Page pixels. In Power BI select a visual, open Format → General → Properties → Size and position and enter these values (inset by 16px for padding).

Questions about this background

What size is the Midnight Glass Panels background?

It is designed on a 1280×720 pixel Power BI page (the Classic report size) and downloads at 1280×720, at 1920×1080 for a new page in a Fluent 2 report, and at 2× (2560×1440) for sharper edges on high-resolution screens.

Where do I place my visuals on this background?

Use the 7 panel positions in the table on this page. Inset each visual by about 16 pixels inside its panel so rounded corners and shadows stay visible.

How do I set a background image in Power BI?

Select the page, then in Format page → Canvas background choose Browse, pick the image, set Image fit to Fill and transparency to 0%. In theme JSON the labels differ: JSON “Fill” is UI Fill, JSON “Fit” is UI Stretch and JSON “Normal” is UI Fit.

Why do my visuals hide the background panels?

Visuals have their own background and border turned on by default. Turn off Format → General → Effects → Background and Visual border for each visual, or apply the matching theme JSON, which does it for you.
