Issues using reportThemeSchema-2.140 and setting background color

[ItsBlake]

The latest reportThemeSchema required updates to the color property in many areas, changing them from object to text types. Below is a simple test following the latest schema's rules (or so I believe), however the background color of my visuals won't update.

{
  "name": "Test",
  "visualStyles": {
    "*": {
      "*": {
        "background": [
          {
            "color": "#000000",
            "show": true,
            "transparency": 60
          }
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}

Please let me know if you replicate the error or spot my mistake. Thank you!

Hi @ItsBlake,

Thanks for reaching out to the Microsoft Fabric Community forum.

It looks like the issue may be due to the way the background color is applied in the latest reportThemeSchema. Here are a few things you can check:

Some visuals require the background property to be set inside "card" or "general", rather than just "visualStyles".

Transparency values in Power BI range from 0 (fully visible) to 100 (fully transparent). If you set it to 60, the background will be only 40% visible. Try reducing the transparency to see if the color updates correctly.

If nothing resolves the issue, try applying the background setting to a specific visual instead of using a wildcard ("*") to see if that makes a difference.

Try this version:

{

  "name": "Test",

  "visualStyles": {

    "*": {

      "*": {

        "card": [

          {

            "background": {

              "color": "#000000",

              "transparency": 0

            }

          }

        ]

      }

    }

  }

}
