Background border on Qlik Cloud

I'm developing on Qlik sense Cloud for the first time. It feels pretty great so far, very few issues and seemingly all the functionality of desktop. But one thing that's bothering me, is that it seems like if I use a background image, no matter what I do (in terms of stretch to fit) there's always a little bit of a white border around it. Is there any way to change this? 

OR! Alternatively, does anyone have a good guide for creating custom styles? (Ideally, just an example of one that I could edit)

Many thanks!

/edit: You can change the border around the edge of the background image by changing the background colour to 'single colour' and selecting it. The background image presumably sits on top of this other 'wallpaper' colour that you can choose with the picker or expression.

For anyone else who encounters this: 

For reasons I'm sure make sense but I've not yet worked out, it's no good to just update the 'general' presentation tab for the button, you need to go onto the 'chart' tab and update the background in there as well.

Hi @Rich_Norris , welcome to the Community!

Are you talking about the Sheet Styling options with Backgroung image?

Can you share an image to better understand your border situation?

Yeah, exactly. So I have a background image, which is essentially just a bar of colour down the left hand side (for a nav-bar) and I have set it as stretch to fit (or original size, doesn't matter). You can see that between the title and the background, and running down the left of the background, is this small white border:

 My solution was to set the background colour to the same colour as the nav bar, and you can see that solves this particular issue quite well:

But it would be good to understand how to not have this? I will say as well, what I'm having to do, is fix it in this way, and then copy the sheet to ensure I have the same on new sheets, but I'm guessing there's some way I can create a theme which would set it as the default and mean on creating a new sheet, it would have my styles applied. If I work out how to do that, I'll post that here as well.

I also have borders around all objects that I can't get rid of. I can post pictures if you want, but imagine you had all border settings on a text box set to 0px and there was still a border round it. That. Anyone know how to fix this?
