    Report schema for January 2025 is available: https://github.com/microsoft/powerbi-desktop-samples/tree/main/Report%20Theme%20JSON%20Schema 
    As SignedUpToSay wrote few things to change. 
    In my case from:

    "background": {
                                "solid": {
                                    "color": "#FFFFFF",
                                    "transparency": 100
                                }
                            }
    to: 
    "background":"#FFFFFF",
     "transparency": 100

It seems I have exactly the same problem as ETom: I made changes to the schema successfully on 10.1.2025 and now PBI desktop gives me more than 100 different errors for the theme file. 

I'm using the same January 2025 version: 2.139.1576.0 64-bit 

I was expecting there would have been a new schema as this problem seems to be similar to this problem from 2023, but as ETom said, the latest schema is from Nov 2024, so long before I made the latest changes: https://community.fabric.microsoft.com/t5/Desktop/Custom-themes-are-broken/m-p/3109467

Any suggestions rajendraongole1 how to fix for example the first problem on the list:
#/visualStyles/*/*/title/0/subtitle must be string,number,boolean (type; matching schema #/properties/visualStyles/additionalProperties/properties/*/patternProperties/%5E.%2B%24/items/patternProperties/%5E.%2B%24/anyOf/0/type)
#/visualStyles/*/*/title/0/subtitle must have required property 'reverseDirection' (required; matching schema #/required)
#/visualStyles/*/*/title/0/subtitle must have required property 'hideText' (required; matching schema #/required)

My visualStyles subtitle looks like this in the theme file:

 "visualStyles": {
    "*": {
      "*": {
        "title": [
          {
            "show": true,
            "fontFamily": "Arial",
            "fontSize": 12,
            "bold": true,
            "fontColor": {
              "solid": {
                "color": "#151515"
              }
            },
            "subtitle": {
              "show": true,
              "fontFamily": "Arial",
              "fontSize": 10,
              "alignment": "left",
              "fontColor": {
                "solid": {
                  "color": "#4F4F4F"
                }
              }
            },
            "background": {
              "solid": {
                "color": "#FFFFFF"
              }
