json file color theme help

Hello,

I am trying to create a new theme but cannot for the life of me figure out how to save as a json file. I do not have Notepad++, just regular notepad, and google does not seem to understand that when I type in my question so it is not helping. Would it be possible for someone to save this as a json file and send it to me? I'm not sure if forumns works that way but it was worth asking!

Thank you!!

 

{
    "name": "BMTheme",
    "dataColors": [
        "#a0a0a0",
        "#646464",
        "#02e56",
        "#353d98",
        "#0509c",
        "#a9218E",
        "#ee304e",
        "#f26631"
    ]
}

HI @sy898661,

 

Your custom theme doesn't necessarily have to be a json file as long as it's in a json format.

You can use Notepad and save it as a text file - it works fine. Just remember to change the file type in the file explorer when importing the custom theme so you can find the text file.

HI @sy898661,

 

Your json theme code has wrong color code, please modify these bold part as valid color code:

{
   "name":"BMTheme",
   "dataColors":[
      "#a0a0a0",
      "#646464",
      "#02e56",
      "#353d98",
      "#0509c",
      "#a9218E",
      "#ee304e",
      "#f26631"
   ]
}
