Hello,
I'm developing a custom theme for my pbi reports. Unfortunatelly, I can't find clear information what I should write on which level in the file. Below is example of my JSOn file. Could you please explain when I'm supposed to do changes inside the first * and when inside the second *?
After some trial and error and going through a few forums I found a solution to updating some of the json settings for the new card visual. Included is also the use of shapeCustomRectangle to get the default shape you want.
Every time Microsoft releases a new power bi desktop version, a new version theme json will get made available to everyone. The new json version will contain the properties/features/formatting options that are newly added.

Download the appropriate schema file to your workstation, then create a blank JSON file alongside the downloaded file.
1. '*' - represents wildcard-style targeting mechanism.
I understand that it might be a bit difficult to complete this json theme as there is no docuementation available. I would suggest you to use any third party tools using which you can easily generate a json
For example you can use the embedded power bi report on this page to know about all the properties and their json labels for each visual
