Custom Theme Preview for Visuals: Visual Name for Matrix?

Using the Sept 2017 PBI Desktop, with custom theme preview...

 

I am trying to apply a default theme for a matrix.  The visual name of "matrix" does not seem to work.

 

Here is an excerpt of my theme JSON file:

 

----------------------------------------------------

  "tableEx":{
   "*":{
    "*":[{
     "fontSize":20
    }]
   }
  }


,


  "matrix":{
   "*":{
    "*":[{
     "fontSize":20
    }]
   }
  }


,

 

----------------------------------------------------

 

The format for "tableEx" is applied.  but the format for matrix is not applied.  There is no "matrixEx" visual, I think.  Is this a known limitation?

    Hey,

     

    maybe one of the mysteries of naming things ...

     

    The name you have to use for the matrix visual is pivotTable:

    "pivotTable": {
			"*": {
				"rowHeaders": [{
					"fontSize":14
				}],
				"columnHeaders": [{
					"fontSize":14
				}],
				"values": [{
					"fontSize":12
				}]
			}
		}

    Regards

    Tom

      How do you know that? The documentation says there is a visual called "matrix". Do you have a more complete set of documentation? I'm trying to change the font color (of anything!) and I cannot seem to do it. fontColor, color don't seem to work.

       

      {
  "name": "test",
  "dataColors": [ "#FC9425", "#33C6BB"],
  "background": "#293537",
  "foreground": "#6B7A8F",
  "tableAccent": "#6B7A8F",
  "visualStyles": {
    "card": {
      "*": {
        "labels": [
          {
            "fontSize": 30,
            "color": "#FFFFFF"
          }
        ],
        "categoryLabels": [
          {
            "fontSize": 16
          }
        ]
      }
    }

  }
}

        Hey Anonymous,

         

        unfortunately I do not have a more complete set of documentation. The documentation also states that there is a visual called "pivotTable". I wanted to change the "Matrix" visual, because matrix, didn't work I tried promising visuals, and pivotTable worked - that simple.

         

        Regards

        Tom
