For a feature we are looking to get a rendered version of the active Visio for a view. For this we are using the GetVisualOverviewDataMessage and we set the type to ImageWithBackground.
Now if a view had the default Skyline Visio assigned to it, this method returns a byte array that renders as a blue background without the information that is visible from within Cube.
Are we missing some options or are we using the wrong call to render the default Visio? Note that the call works for custom Visio files, for those we can render all the pages.

The method you refer to should return a data message that contains a couple of things:
- An image for everything that should be plain rendered
- One or more regions that contain the different shapes that should be interactive. This can be a bunch of different things:
- A simple region that tells you an area of the visual overview can be clicked
- A region with a specific type for which the native web app will then create a native component of its own
- A region that contains another image that should be put in a scrollable container, the size of the region. This is the case for the default visio you refer to. It contains children shapes, which are containers with automatically generated shapes based on the children in your view.
