[RETIRED] Customizable Backgrounds and Colors for Embedded Dashboards (3.38+)
Also it is worth noting that embedded dashboards hit production so when using this on a LookML dashboard, your changes will not be reflected until you push.
I discussed with
Since the 3.46 update those 3 parameters do not pass LookML validation.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention
Is there any reason why the options here are different when clicking Edit Embed Settings?

Hey
The screenshot of the settings from the original post were taken in Looker version 3.38. This is when embed settings were first introduced and were still in Beta.
The settings have changed since then and the settings you’re seeing are definitely up to date!
Thanks
I retired this article. The content can be found in technical documentation for user-defined dashboards and for LookML dashboards.
