Select a Background Style and Gloss for a Widget

Use the Dashboard Editor context menu (right-click) menu to select a background style/gloss for any Widget that has a background. Options include:

• Square background.
• Rounded Corner background.
• Tab background.
• Rounded Tab background.
• Ellipse background.
• No background.
• Gloss: Adds a slightly glowing and reflective background to the Widget.

Good to know:

• Image Widgets do not have a background.
• If a Widget is set to No background, style and gloss cannot be seen.
• Widgets with transparent components (ex: Shapes, pipeline charts, text, etc.) show a gloss very clearly. Gloss on Widgets whose content covers most of the Widget is not as noticeable.
• See Dashboard Editor Behaviors for tips on working with Widgets on Dashboards.
