Shape theme json

[Shr88]

Hello everyone,

I'm currently working on defining shape specifications in my Power BI report using the guidelines found here: PowerBI-ThemeTemplates/Shape.json.

Below is the JSON configuration I’m using:

"basicShape": {
"*": {
"fill": [
{
"show": true,
"fillColor": {
"solid": {
"color": "#F39000"
}
},
"transparency": 40
}
],
"text": [
{
"show": true,
"fontFamily": "Factoria",
"fontColor": {
"solid": {
"color": "#FFFFFF"
}
}
}
],
"rotation": [
{
"angle": 90
}
],
"visualHeader": [
{
"show": false
}
]
}
}

However, after importing this JSON specification into my Power BI report, the expected fill color #F39000 (which should be orange) appears as pink instead, as shown in the attached screenshot.

Has anyone else encountered this issue, or can you offer insights into what might be going wrong? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Hi @Shr88 

As a troubleshooting step, it's important to ensure that you're using the latest version of Power BI Desktop, especially when encountering unexpected behavior, compatibility issues, or errors during development or report publishing.

Also, Try testing with other hex color codes to verify whether they render as expected this will help determine if the issue is specific to the #F39000 fill color or if it's a broader problem with the theme template.

Additionally, Please try applying the same theme template in a new PBIX file to see if the issue persists or if it resolves in a fresh report environment.

Hi @Shr88 - Make sure the color hex code is correctly formatted. You used #F39000, which is correct, but sometimes removing the # or ensuring there are no extra characters in the JSON can help.

try the attached json file.

thanks @rajendraongole1 I attempted to incorporate your specifications above into my theme file, but unfortunately, I’m not seeing the desired effect.

Just to clarify, I’m trying to apply this specifically to a rectangle.

Hi @Shr88  -Thank you for sharing the screenshots. The JSON theme configuration looks correct, but the rectangle is still showing as pink instead of the expected orange (#F39000).

"basicShape": {
"rectangle": {
"fill": [
{
"show": true,
"fillColor": {
"solid": {
"color": "#F39000"
}
},
"transparency": 0
}
]
}
}

Thank you, but this hasn't worked either 😐

Is a that a brand new visual? If you've set a colour on a visual before, to overwrite the default, even if you update the theme the user selected colour will remain for that visual

[Shr88]

It's the rectangle shape, not a new visual.
