theme json file example

Does anyone have a working json file that updates the font and font size? The defaults are horrific. I've tried the theme generator and example from curbal but neither actually work.

Hi @cdknuth,

 

Maybe you can refer to following link which told about custom theme elements.

Thanks, Xiaoxin. I've tried these formats and neither work.

 


   "name":"Jan 2018 Theme",

HI @cdknuth,

 

You can try to use below json formula and replace bold part with a valid font name.

{
    "name":"Jan 2018 Theme",
    "dataColors":[
        "#0069aa",
        "#4f8dc2",
        "#9ab7da",
        "#cedaec",
        "#00c762",
        "#fbe7a6",
        "#ff544a",
        "#f89a1c",
        "#545451"
    ],
    "background":"#FFFFFF",
    "foreground":"#545451",
    "tableAccent":"#4f8dc2",
    "visualStyles":{
        "*":{
            "*":{
                "*":[
                    {
                        "fontFamily":"Segoe UI"
                    }
                ]
            }
        }
    }
}

Thanks for the attempt, but this still doesn't work for me. Perhaps I need a newer version.

HI @cdknuth,


Maybe you can try to use below json file, I package code and confirm it works on my side.

Nope. Still doesn't work for me.
