Adding shadow to all visual objects by default

Hi,

 

How do we add the shadow to all visual objects to a json theme file? The options is not available in the theme editor.

 

Thanks.

@Greg_Deckler  Thanks,

 

Yup I can help with this.

 

I Just documented this feature at https://themes.powerbi.tips/themes/properties

 

Navigate to a visual.

Open the section labeled Drop Shadow

Set your properties

Download Theme (Found at the bottom of the page)

Load to Desktop and enjoy your new visual style.

Also, it would be great if we can load a json file in the theme generator, edit it, and download the result.

Great, I didn't know you were the guy behind the theme generator! Awesome job, @Mike_Carlo !

Hi @SBPFA ,

 

It is not supported to adding shadow to all visual objects by default  to a json theme file  in Power BI currently . There is an idea about this issue, please vote it up, Add drop shadow formatting to all visuals , and you can add your comments there to improve Power BI and make this feature coming sooner.

 

As a workaround, you may add image with shadow using image editor to the background, and set the size for the report page. See similar thread: Add shadow to shapes.

 

Best Regards,

Amy
