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"
]
}
