Hi MEFOX ,

 

Have you followed the correct steps as listed in official documnet:Use report themes in Power BI Desktop - Power BI | Microsoft DocsTo my knowledge, In a report theme JSON file, you define only the formatting that you want to change. Whatever you don't specify in the JSON file reverts to the Power BI Desktop default settings.

 

If you want to always use the same theme, you could export the pbix(just choose the theme you want) to Power BI Templete, then everytime you open it, the theme is always the same.

 

In addition, I have found some similar submitted ideas, you could give your votes at them,May be , hopes Power Bi will implement this in nearby future.
