    Hi ToddChitt,

    It seems that you want to combine multiple visuals in the same json file and apply global setting, right? If so, I think you could try below

    {"name":"My Theme",
"visualStyles":{
"*":{
"*":{"*":[{"fontSize":12,"fontFamily":"Calibri, Cambria","color":{"solid":{}}}]}},
"pieChart":{"*":{"legend":[{"show":true,"showTitle":true,"labelColor":{"solid":{"color":"#75b2f0"}}}],"general":[{"responsive":true}]}},
"card":{"*":{"labels":[{"show":true,"color":{"solid":{"color":"#1c7ad9"}},"fontSize":20}]}}}}

    You could use Report Theme Generator V3 this tool, to create json, when you set multiple visuals, you could click donwload button, it will ceate and download json file for you(you also could modify the file based on your requirement)

    Best Regards,

daxThanks for the tip. Not sure I would use the Theme generator at this point. But I did see something in your sample that caught my eye:

There is a comma between sections, like just before the "card":{...} section.

 

So for me, adding the comma did the trick.

 

Cheers.
