Replace conditional format icons with custom icons

I want to replace some of the icons (eg. "grey arrow up") displayed by conditional formatting in tables.

Adding custom icons within a theme.json file and importing it into a report works.

 

But I need to actually replace icons with custom versions without going into every table/matrix visual and change the conditional format. I have many reports with many tables.

 

I tried using an "id" tag with the icon number as the value inside the theme.json, but that theme file does not import currectly.

 

So, is there a way to do this with a theme.json file?

 

Thanks,

Lars

This is not exaclty solve my problem, as I wanted to change the power bi theme and replace the standard conditional format icon with custom ones - without changing every conditional formatting in all the reports.

 

But I give the UNICHAR approach a try and implement it in some reports.

 

Thanks for your answer ...

@lsteffens , You can create a unichar measure and a color measure to do conditional formatting on that
