JSON Theme Code for Text Box
Hi All,
Is anyone aware on how to set the font for a text box to a different font (such as arial)? I am looking around and not finding anything. It looks like it doesn't live under the "visualStyles" category.
Any help (or sample code!) would be great.
Thanks,
James
Using that I found that you can set the font family, size, color etc using he "*": attribute, sample code below:
"textbox": { "*": { "*": [ { "fontSize": 40, "fontFamily": "Calibri", "wordWrap": true, "color": { "solid": { "color": "#FFFFFF"} } }], "general": [{ "responsive": true }], "background": [{ "show": false, "color": { "solid": { "color": "#DDDDDD"}}, "transparency": 100 }], "visualHeader": [{ "show": false }] } }Hoi SteveVail,
I don't use PBI much anymore but we still have reports using this "textbox" formatting in a custom theme, they all still work in Version: 2.91.884.0 64-bit (March 2021). I made a minimal demo theme to test it and applied it as a new theme, which all seems to work. Sample code below to show where I put the code in the answer above. Cheers.

HI Anonymous,
You can take a look at official document:
Use Report Themes in Power BI Desktop (Preview)
It seems like you write properties without specific visual types, it will try to apply it to whole visuals.

Vote for the idea below to get this functionality added:
This works if I don't have any styles (border/shadow) on the visuals, however if I do, this doesn't work -- any workarounds?
There are different options available depending on the visual you want to define in the theme.
To define the default format in your theme for Border/Shadow, add the below to the definition and amend the colours and options available as you need.
"border": [ { "color": { "solid": { "color": "#003b6f" } }, "show": false, "radius": 0 } ], "dropShadow": [ { "show": false, "color": { "solid": { "color": "#003b6f" } }, "position": "Outer", "preset": "BottomRight", "shadowSpread": 3, "shadowBlur": 10, "angle": 45, "shadowDistance": 10, "transparency": 70 } ],Hope this helps
Luis
