How can i set Background property of a visualization using custom report theme JSON file

Hello,

 

I am trying to set the background color property of a visualization using custom report theme JSON file. However,  I didn't find any option to set the background property in JSON file. background property in JSON file works only for a couple of visualization (table, matrix) and it won't work for others.

 

for example: for a line chart  in Power BI Desktop, we can turn on the background property to set the background color. what property we need to use in custom json file to set the background property to true. I would appreciate any suggestions on the same.

 

Thank you!!

Hi @manojsv16,

By my tests, I'm afraid that we may not set the background property to true in custom json file.
