Dear Community,
I am trying to create the JSON theme.
My theme is accepted and works, except the chart's label background.
How can I do?
"pieChart": {
"*": {
"general": [{
"responsive": true,
"keepLayerOrder": true
}],
"background": [{
"show": true,
"color": { "solid": { "color": "#FFFFFF"}},
"transparency": 0
}],
"border": [{
"color": { "solid": { "color": "#000000"}},
"show": true,
"radius": 10
}],
"title": [{
"show": true,
"fontColor": { "solid": { "color": "#000000" } },
"background": { "solid": { "color": "#FFFFFF" } },
"alignment": "center",
"fontSize": 14
}],
"legend": [{
"show": true,
"position": "Top",
"showTitle": true,
"titleText": "",
"legendColor": { "solid": { "color": "#01B8AA"}},
"fontFamily": "Segoe UI",
"fontSize": 12
}],
"labels": [{
"show": true,
"labelStyle": "Category, data value, percent of total",
"color": { "solid": { "color": "#605E5C"}},
"labelDisplayUnits": "0",
"labelPrecision": 0,
"fontSize": 9,
"fontFamily": "Arial Black",
"position": "inside",
"enableBackground": true,
"backgroundColor": { "solid": { "color": "#FFFFFF" }},
"backgroundTransparency":30
}]
}
}

Hi @Betty12111 ,
It seems that the background color doesn't work in pie chart. It still use the default color. Here I suggest you to change the data label to other bright colors instead of #605E5C which looks like grey.
Here is a example of Pie chart theme code.
