Configure list slicer in theme

Hi! I hope I have an easy question. I don't get the theme file to work with the ListSlicer. Can anyone share an example of how I for example modify the colors for it so I know how to start. ...

    Hi tobny76 ,

    Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft Fabric Community and thanks for sharing the update.

    From what I’ve seen in similar discussions such as this thread: Solved: Re: Unable to change new slicer font colour with c... - Microsoft Fabric Community, the $id: "selection:selected" property works for the new slicer visual (advancedSlicerVisual) when changing the font or background color for selected items.

    However, this behavior doesn’t seem to apply in the same way to the listSlicer.

    For the classic list slicer, only a few formatting options such as background color and basic text settings appear to take effect through JSON theming, while selection-specific colors may not currently respond.

    You can refer to the official documentation on Power BI JSON themes
    for the list of supported visual style properties. It might also be worth testing with future Power BI Desktop versions in case expanded support for listSlicer theming becomes available.

     

    Hope this helps. Please reach out for further assistance.

    Thank you.

Hi,
No I have not found the solution for changing the ListSlicer yet.
If I for example try to modify the settings for the title color on both
"Slicer" and "advancedSlicerVisual" it will not affect the ListSlicer.

    Title is working to change with "listSlicer".

    Text is working with the "Value" property. Now I only need to figure out the SelectionIcon.

      Hi tobny76 ,

      Thanks for confirming that the title and value text properties are working with listSlicer.

      As for the SelectionIcon, there is currently no documented JSON property to modify its color or style for the list slicer visual. The $id patterns that apply to advancedSlicerVisual don’t appear to have the same effect here.

      You may try experimenting within the listSlicer scope, but based on available information, the SelectionIcon formatting is likely not theme-controllable yet.

       

      You can consider sharing this as a feature request in the Power BI Ideas
      forum so that the product team can review adding support for it in future updates.

       

      Please reach out for further assistance.

      Thank you.

        Hi tobny76 ,
        Just following up to see if you’ve made any progress on the SelectionIcon formatting for the listSlicer, or if the issue persists on your side.

        If you have already posted this as an idea, please share the link here so others with the same requirement can follow it.

         

        Thank you.
