    I've received the below responce from Microsoft, it looks like it is currently not a function available with Themes.

     

     

    We received an update from product team  that  We don’t yet support formatting the title of visuals through themes.

     

    We have done extensive research and troubleshooting to understand the issue which you are facing. From our findings and after having discussion with product group team we got to know that this is the known issue and this is in our roadmap. Unfortunately we cannot provide any ETA at this moment. So we will be closing this case today. Appreciate your support and partnership with Microsoft. You are our valuable customer and we strive to assist you better and better every day.  

     

    Looks like we just have to wait.

Hi Anonymous,

 

Based on further test, some of properties seems not suport to use in custom theme.
Test result:
1. Use 'background' and 'foreground' to setting color, it works.
2. Use specific structure to setting specific properties. Power bi can import custom theme but not apply on the report.

 

In addition, you can also contact to power bi team to known more about this.

Hi Xiaoxin,

 

thanks for your reply but I'm afraid background and foreground only apply to matrix and table styles. What we are discussing are Titles for all visuals and the color of the Title background and the color of the font in the Title.

 

Our main gripe being that while yes you can set specific structure properties it looks like (although it's hard to know for sure as the documentation is unclear to me) you cannot alter the properties of titles in visuals. Despite titles being a common property of all visuals.

 

Getting in contact with the PBI team is a good idea, do you know the best way to do that?

 

Thanks,

 

Will

    Hi Anonymous,

     

    Perhaps you can submit it at support page:

    Power bi Support

     

    I'm not so sure if external users can direct contact to 'power bi desktop team', it seems like an internal group.

     

    Regards,
