Custom themes
Hello,
Will Power BI support custom themese in future?
Thanks,
Yash
- Hi. It is not possible yet. But a certain of the designer was shown at ignite that had customized themes. So I guess we just need to keep waiting a little longer.
Cheers

On a dashboard, we can change the background of a "tile" in the report editor but the "tile background" is still white on the dashboard - we even tried to "re-pin" the tile, but it still remiains white - on the report view, it remains the new background color we chose.
What are we doing wrong?
Also, due to company "colors and branding" - it is now September 8, 2015 - when will we be able to appy a "global color theme"?
Why is this marked as "solved" - it is now September 20, 2015 and I hardly think that this is "solved"?
The custom theme preview feature is great. Is it possible to specify a report background, please? Thanks you
DimitriNoyen Not quite yet, but we have plans to add that into the theme as well!
That is certainly reassuring! That said, and with "monthly" updates, we sure could use guidance as to "how to best prepare" for "colored" backgrounds so that we don't have to start over when the "full themes" functionality rolls out.
Themes are, without a doubt, a huge customer requirement and a competitive "disadvantage"!
We read about a "Themes/Customer Gallery" and that would be an enormous benefit - please make this ASAP!
Would it be possible to "provide us some roadmap guidance"?
The custom themes preview feature is fantastic, really speeds up the workflow when developing reports in Power BI.
Do you have a list of all the attributes that can be customised using a theme? Or is this currently the full list...
"dataColors", "background","foreground" & "tableAccent"?
I keep getting an error when trying to bring in the Json file for the custom theme. I am using the St. Patricks Day file as a template and modifying the Hex codes to correspond with my companies colors.
{
"name": "XYZxyz",
"dataColors": ["#1E345D", "#768591", "#F38A00", "#99CAEA", "#DADFE1",
"background":"#FFFFFF",
"foreground": "#768591",
"tableAccent": "#1E345D"
}Thanks, Steve
reddobe, you are missing a square bracket after "#DADFE1". Try this.
{
"name": "XYZxyz",
"dataColors": ["#1E345D", "#768591", "#F38A00", "#99CAEA", "#DADFE1"],
"background":"#FFFFFF",
"foreground": "#768591",
"tableAccent": "#1E345D"
}
- Can any explain why I keep getting this message with trying to upload a .json theme file? Error importing theme file - There was a problem importing your theme file. Please try again or choose another file.
I am still having issues with using the JSON file for Themes in Power BI, some of the sections of the file do not work. I am simply trying to apply a theme which has a white background on the visuals and a light grey background on the page. the page visual is loaded as an image and the Border and Background should be controlled by the theme file. I have tried following advice from here: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Webinars-and-Video-Gallery/How-to-create-a-Power-BI-theme-with-a-JSON-file/m-p/325453 but again some of the information on card names is incorrect. The documentation here doesn't give you all you need with working samples: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/desktop-report-themes.
Here is the theme file contents. can you please help?
