Modern Charts - Remove Half Border Line

[TonyT]

I am using a Modern Chart on a dark background, the chart has a right angled border line across the top & left of the chart that I cannot remove.
any suggestions on how to get rid of it?

I don't have any charts to test. Did you look at the properties of the control itself? Does it have a transparent border or is it set to something else?

 

[TonyT]

I'm used to Charts in Excel so the general prosperities I don't have an issue with, but the Chart border I cannot fix. I have tried everything I know and it still shows up!!

Can you upload a minimal sample database that is showing the problem?

I have attached a screenshot on my opening question that shows the thin white line

It looks like the Special Effect "Flat " is activated but i cannot turn it off only change it for the other options!

I thought it might be a "shadowed" border style. Maybe it's caused by the dark colour scheme.

Normally for a light background you would just set border style to transparent in the column chart properties
However for a dark colour background, I get the same as you.
Looks like a bug. I've just reported it

 

[TonyT]

I think your right that its a bug, I've tried everything but had to resort to changing the colour scheme to hide them!!

I'll let you know when I've had a response from the Access team.

This appears to still be an issue with dark backgrounds. I have tried pretty much everything with gridlines, background colours etc., but the white lines at the top and left hand side will not go away

This is a year old thread.

Yes - that was the point. The issue still exists over a year later

@msch88
I reported this in June 2024 and got an acknowledgement from the Access team
The fact that it hasn't been fixed yet is I think because it is a relatively trivial issue in the larger scheme of things.
I will raise it again but I doubt it will be fixed any time soon

In the meantime, my suggestion for those using a dark background as in post #1 is to make a feature of this by adding a white border to the chart area. For example:
