Here is my try, but nothing happens:

 

{
...."name": "Matrix",
...."visualStyles": {
........"*": {
............"*": {
................"rowHeaders": [
....................{
........................"outline": "None"
....................}
................]
............}
........},
........"pivotTable": {
............"*": {
................"rowHeaders": [
....................{
........................"outline": "None"
....................}
................]
............}
........}
....}
}

Any idea?

 

Best, Thomas

                  }
               ]
            }
         }
   }
}

I hope it could help you solve your problem.

 

If you want a good resource for templates for all the various charts and elements check out: 

PowerBI-ThemeTemplates

Most everything you need is in there.  There are some additional properties that are not highlighted and you have to dig for the name for any custom or imported element.

Hi Rico,

 

Thank you for your support! I have already used the GitHub link that you have provided for reference. My approach is taken from these examples at GitHub. Unfortunately, it doesn't work (anymore?).

 

Any other idea? Best, Thomas
