JSON formatting textbox not working

Hello,

 

I am beginning building a theme json file and testing as I go. My current file loads fine but the textbox formatting doesn't update in Powerbi. It appears to be following the visualStyles rather than the detailed "textbox" parameters.  I have tried to move it into the visualStyles block to see if that would help but it doesn't. Is there a piece of code I am missing or does this not work any longer?

Thank you. So if I am not mistaken, it was an ordering issue?  I was able to use your code and build off it as I noticed that the font still wouldn't show up properly with the coloring scheme but that was an easy fix using "fontColor" instead of the "Color" I had previously coded. Thanks for the assistance.
