Add background effects to a chart
Background effects include borders, fills, drop shadows, and images.
Procedure
Click the chart object.
To apply a preset background fill effect, from the report object toolbar, click the Background effects presets icon.
In the Properties pane, under Color & background, double-click the Background effects property.
Select one or more of the following:
To apply a border, click Border and specify settings for border style, width, color, corner radius for rounded rectangles, and transparency.
If the element also includes a fill with a transparency setting, select the Allow transparent bleed check box to apply the same transparency to the border.

To apply a fill effect, click Fill and specify the settings. The fill effect can either be a solid color, a gradient, or a pattern. You can define a gradient fill effect as a linear, radial line, or radial rectangle gradient.
To apply a drop shadow effect, click Drop shadow and specify the shadow color, transparency value, color, and offset settings. The default horizontal and vertical offset is 5 pixels.
To specify one or more images as a background, click Images. You can specify the transparency value and the position for each defined image. You can also specify a custom position for each image.
Tip: To remove the effect, clear its check box.

Hey guys,

Upgrade to IBM Cognos Analytics 11.0.1
Most of the problems will be solved as this Background effects presets.
Still some of em are there like 'Use Embedded Data' property for visualization.
