Hi @Jacy,

 

Thankfully this is now possible using the 'Customise Current Theme' option.

 

To do so, go to the ribbon and select 'View', then select the themes dropdown and select 'Customize Current Theme'. If you then go to the 'Text' section, you'll be able to change the default font family for all headers and text, including text within visuals. You can also change default color here and create your own color palette.

 

A few resources that might help when customizing your theme:

Color picker

 

Hope that helps!

Hi @Jacy,

 

Current there is no options to setting default format, perhaps you can vote below idea:

Xiaoxin Sheng, I have a query. It was able to make changes to json file by looking at datacard and enumerators format given by powerbi team. 

 

I am unable to apply code for card titles. Is there any enumerators and data cards that I can use for card title?

 

 

 

It is a time consuming process to apply changes to every cardTitle as I have 20 visuals to display. Any changes to one card title in terms of color and font needs to be reflected across 20 visuals. Your help will be much appreciated. 

 

Thanks,

Sujit

Hi @Anonymous,


Nope, it seems like you can't use custom theme to format tiles styles.(I check on document but haven't found any properties of title node)

I thought so. They have title for each card and in theme code they did not have title card code. Thanks Xiaoxin.

I am unable to apply code for card titles. Below is the code which I have applied:

 

"card":
{"*":
{"cardTitle":[{"color":{"solid":{"color":"#FFEA00"}},"fontSize":20,"fontFamily":"Calibri, Cambria"}],
"labels":[{"show":true,"color":{"solid":{"color":"#FFB300"}},"labelPrecision":2,"fontSize":40,"fontFamily":"Calibri, Cambria"}]

}
},

 

Eventhough I interchange card with cardTitle, still I am unable to change it. Also, if I use cardTitle as card in one of the visuals still not able to apply. 

It is a time consuming process to apply changes to every cardTitle as I have 20 visuals to display. Any changes to one card title in terms of color and font needs to be reflected across 20 visuals. Your help will be much appreciated.

It can only be performed by making changes to json file which has codes for visuals.
