Hi all,
I am looking for a full json file from a default theme.
It would be useful to understand how we can set up detailed options within the file.
I am currently reading this Microsoft's tutorial https://docs.microsoft.com/fr-fr/power-bi/desktop-report-themes but the lack of a demo file make it a little bit esoteric 🙂
Do you know where I could download this kind of file ?
Thanks for your help.

Hi @Anonymous
Save an empty .pbix with the theme you want and close it. Then open that file with file compression software (Winzip, 7-zip, ...). A pbix is actually a compressed file. Once into the file, go to
...\Report\StaticResources\SharedResources\BaseThemes\
and there you'll find the json file for the theme.
Another option is to have a look at the templates here or here
Cheers
Not a sample file but this github repo contains all the names, types & properties in the base visuals in power BI

I'd recommend putting it into VS code formatting the document (Shift-Alt-F) & using control-F to find things
