I had seen the website you provided. It helps with the basics of a JSON theme. However I have not found a way to standardize position or area of visuals using a JSON file--in a way that will produce a layout like file for my co-workers to use easily. I did however find this website: https://powerbi.tips/layouts/

which has layouts containing "empy" placeholders where you can drag and drop your data to create your dashboard then apply a simple color & font JSON theme at the end. From this website I downloaded a layout and completely revised the area and position of the empty visual element placeholders, and added shapes, empty text boxes, and a background. Effectively making a custom layout for all future dashboards we produce. This way my co-workers can create their own dashboard and the overall layout and theme with all be consistent.
