Background of PlotMarkers

Question

I use the StandardReport style sheet in my notebooks, but I would like to export plots without any backgrounds. Apparently, there isn't a global option to change the background on a plot, so I change the background for everything:

bgc = White;
ListPlot[{{1, 1}, {2, 2}}
, Background -> bgc
, TicksStyle -> {{12, Background -> bgc}, {12, Background -> bgc}}
, Joined -> True
, PlotMarkers -> Automatic
]

But there is still a gray background on plot markers.

example

How can I disable it?

Could you provide a specific example for your plot? I have gray background of markers with PlotMarkers -> Automatic and transparent background with PlotMarkers -> None. It works for me (Linux, V10.0.1) but contradicts the docs, which say None = no markers. — ybeltukov, Jan 28 '15 at 18:56
PlotMarkers -> None gives me no makers at all (Linux, V9.0.0.0) — Clèm, Jan 28 '15 at 19:19
There is no background on the PlotMarkers on my plot (Mac OSX, v. 10.0.0). — David G. Stork, Jan 28 '15 at 21:05
V9.0.0.0 is the first v9 release so is very buggy, you should ugrade. — Öskå, Jan 29 '15 at 02:02
Rather than close this as off-topic would it not be better to rewrite it as a bug report and tag it as such? — Mr.Wizard, Jan 31 '15 at 08:28

Edit, 28.06.2016

There is a Background on PlotMarkers on 10.0 for Mac OS X x86 (64-bit) (December 4, 2014) with the StandardReport style:

 bgc = White;
 ListPlot[{{1, 1}, {2, 2}}, Background -> bgc, 
 TicksStyle -> {{12, Background -> bgc}, {12, Background -> bgc}}, 
 Joined -> True, PlotMarkers -> Automatic]

There is no Background on PlotMarkers on 10.0 for Mac OS X x86 (64-bit) (December 4, 2014) with the StandardReport style when using BaseStyle -> {Background -> None}:

bgc = White;
ListPlot[{{1, 1}, {2, 2}}
 , Background -> bgc
 , TicksStyle -> {{12, Background -> bgc}, {12, Background -> bgc}}
 , Joined -> True, PlotMarkers -> {{Graphics[{Disk[]}], 1/4}}
 , PlotRange -> {{0, 3}, {0, 3}}
 , BaseStyle -> {Background -> None}]

There is no Background on PlotMarkers on 10.0 for Mac OS X x86 (64-bit) (December 4, 2014) without the StandardReport style.

bgc = White;
ListPlot[{{1, 1}, {2, 2}}, Background -> bgc, 
TicksStyle -> {{12, Background -> bgc}, {12, Background -> bgc}}, 
Joined -> True, PlotMarkers -> Automatic]

And the the marker size can be tuned like so (see How can I change the size of the plot markers):

ListPlot[{{1, 1}, {2, 2}}
, Joined -> True
, PlotMarkers -> {{Graphics[{Disk[]}], 1/4}}
, PlotRange -> {{0, 3}, {0, 3}}]

Actually there is, with the StandardReport style. It appears to be the same problem I asked about a few days ago: http://mathematica.stackexchange.com/questions/118830/background-colour-of-text-in-graphics Plot markers are text too. — Szabolcs, Jun 24 '16 at 16:38
