Strange behaviour of Button

Hi,

When i put a button on my canvas it appears in blue while my color settings shows transparent !

And it's not possible for me to set the button's color to transparent !

Even resizing the button i get this:

So i can only resize to a certain minimum.

 

What am i missing here or is it just a crappy component?

    Hi @PeKi72 ,

     

    Try using a classic button instead of the modern one:

    The styling of modern controls is done with theming, so it doesn't respond to customisations in a similar way as the classic ones.

    I think you may be using the PowerApps builder INSIDE Teams right? It uses some version of Modern Controls, and Modern Controls are terrible for customizing the look. I hate working with them. Here's how you can bypass this. Open a browser and go to make.powerapps.com. Make a new CANVAS app, name it copyPaste or testing, whatever you want, it will just be a place we shop for parts. Place a regular button on your new screen. Select It. Copy It. Go back to powerapps builder in teams. Paste this button. Voila, you now have an editable button
