Applying Visual Theme via JSON file

Hi guys,

 

I am trying to configure a corporate theme within Power BI and would like to set the title bar of all visual to be blue (#428BCA) with white (#FFFFFF).  However I am struggling to find the correct property which will do this, I have tried combinations of the following but to no avail:

 

{
   "name": "Corp Std",
   "dataColors": ["#FF00FF", "#5B6B72", "#D72825", "#E57F29", "#12C705"],
   "background": "#FFFFFF",
   "foreground": "#428BCA",
   "tableAccent": "#F21C75",
   "visualStyles":{
                    "*":{
                          "*":{
                                "*":[{  "showTitle":true,
                                        "color":"#428BCA",
                                        "fontcolor":"#FFFFFF"}]
                                }
                         }
                  }
  }
 

Any help with the JSON syntax would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance

Hi @derria,

 

Unfortunately, it doesn't support formatting the title of visuals through themes. Please see this similar thread: Using Theme to set Title Background & Font Color

Hi Yuliana,

 

I have previously read through the article you mentioned and hence why I posted onto the forum.

 

I am looking to create theme where any visual added will automatically default to having a blue title bar, as below:

However, I am unable to locate a property setting via the JSON file which can do this,  and am looking for confirmation as to whether this is possible?

Thanks MaryF.

 

Unfortunately, there is no property shown for the 'Title' on any of the visuals and I am starting to wondering if it is not feasible to set the title Smiley Sad
