ArcPro legend layer transparency

[NigelBerjak]

Is there a way to turn off the simulated symbol transparency in the legend? In ArcMap it is done simply via the dataframe properties via the 'Simulate layer transparency in legend' checkbox, but I've looked everywhere and I cannot locate it in ArcPro.

Thanks,

Nigel

Man... I agree with the posts. I'm really trying to use Pro, but it results in a lot of "banging my head against the wall" to find solutions. I spend a LOT of time hunting around for equivalent options we used to have in ArcMap. Many options in ArcMap were not perhaps very elegant, but they worked pretty consistently. I want that option for layer transparency in the map, but not in the legend patches because I'm using a colored background there and the transparent patches look bad. I'm going to have to resort to some awkward, time-consuming graphic workaround or completely convert my legend to graphics.

A workaround is that if you have an image, or non-transparent base layer, you can make a 'legend' set of layers below this, with no-transparency. You keep all of these on and because they are below the base layer, they will not display on-layout. They can then be added to and display without transparency in the legend. Not an ideal, but at least the legend then maintains its link to the main map without having to convert to graphics etc, which I have never found overly useful.

Hope this helps.
