Fine-tuning JSON themes - either of these 2 things possible?

[mmace1]

I don't think either of these is currently possible, but checking just in case:

• Specfiying the background color of specifically Slicer Visualizations. 
  • (You can easily set the background of all visuals, but it's an all-or-nothing setting, there's no way to specify formatting by type of visual, right? )
• Of the theme colors, assigning some logic for which color is used for which item
  • i.e. if 'xyz' appears in the Measure Name or Legend Item, then use this color, or something like that

There's the Report Theme Generator: 
https://powerbi.tips/tools/report-theme-generator-v3/

But the only options for Slicers is Reponsive Y/N. And I haven't seen any mention of using any logic for applying the theme colors

Hi @mmace1 

the answer to your first question is: Yes, it is possible. If you need default background color for slicers use the following link: https://themes.powerbi.tips/properties.

The answer to your second question may possibly answered at: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/create-reports/desktop-report-themes

[...]

Here's a sample theme that sets the color classes:

{
"name": "Custom Theme",
"firstLevelElements": "#252423",
"secondLevelElements": "#605E5C",
"thirdLevelElements": "#F3F2F1",
"fourthLevelElements": "#B3B0AD",
"background": "#FFFFFF",
"secondaryBackground": "#C8C6C4",
"tableAccent": "#118DFF"
}

NICE.  That's #1 - how to set default colors for slicers.  

I'll flail around messing up the transfer of the json into my existing file, but none the less - that site seems to create the correct code for specificy Slicer colors!

For the link - I've read that before, it seems like there's no logic for associating certian colors with certain Measure Names or Legend values?  One can assign colors within a template, and have them persist I believe. But going back a step, there's nothing in the .Json to assign certain colors to certain data values?

1st one, you are right, its not possible.

2nd one, You have to do it in the conditional formatting pane of each chart, not possible on JSON themes.

@pranit828  Thanks!   99% certain that's the end of it!  I'm going to wait on Accepting Solution...on that 1% chance there's some horrible way someone knows of. 

It for instance, *is* possible to have a specified background/wallpaper picture in a JSON theme file, with some indirect screwing around.  So, waiting just in case...

Sure, I will also be interested to and implement if anyone has any more thought on it.

Will be closely following this thread.
