Json Theme - Enable background for gauge by default

Hi!

 

Tried to read and understand this from the extensive site here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/desktop-report-themes

But my programming knowledge is a bit to low, and i struggle to find out how to set Background=True on my Gauge meters.

The color and transparency works, but by default the On/Off switch for the Background is still Off. Please advise what i need to add in my json file to make my gauges automatically swith Background = On

Hi @johanjsc ,

 

I found a solution in the end of this post. we can use the following json to meet your requirement. Notice the blue part that control the show status of visual.

 

{
"name":"PowerBI Demo",
"dataColors":["#003366", "#A8C5E0", "#214F80", "#A4D3E3", "#82A1BD", "#366996", "#304E64", "#004576", "#666666", "#000000", "#0C304A", "#0076DE"],
"background":"#000000",
"foreground":"#003366",
"tableAccent":"#214F80",
"visualStyles": {
	"gauge": {
		"*": {
                "background": [{
		    "show": {
                        "expr": {
                            "Literal": {
                                "Value": "true"
                            }
                        }
                    },
                "color": { "solid": { "color": "#FF0000" } },
                "transparency": 25
            }]
		}
	},
    "page": {
            "*": {
                "background": [{
                "color": { "solid": { "color": "#FFFFFF" } },
                "transparency": 25
            }],
            "outspace": [{
                "color": { "solid": { "color": "#004753" } },
                "transparency": 0
            }]
        }
    }
    }
}
