Custom Themes not importing

[dkernen]

Hello.  I am a new BI user.  I have created a custom them based on my organization's brand standard.  I created a them based on this template: https://powerbi.tips/tools/report-theme-generator-v3/.  I downloaded the template.  Then imported the theme.  But then nothing happens.  I cannot see the theme in the drop-down (by Switch Theme) and the data colors do not update.  What am I doing wrong?  I really appreciate your assistance!

Thank you.  Funny - the link you sent doesn't open in IE - but it does in Chrome!    I do wish my custom palette would show in the drop down.  Hopefully in an upcoming release!

What is the content of your theme? Once imported, it should automatically work.

Firstly, did you manually change the colors in the visuals? If they are not set to default, they will not change with the theme.

Note that you may not see anything initially. The theme will affect colors in your charts and tables, they will default to your selected colors for the selected charts.

A handy tip, there is a simplified version of the tool available here:

https://themes.powerbi.tips/

This is a quick and easy global color picker, I use it for example to have all company colors as standard.

The theme generator is continually updated as Power BI release more capabilities, so as they do more items will be added to the list.

Please let me know if this helps!

Appreciate your Kudos
