Theme setting for card background

I understand from other posts that setting the page background with a theme .json file is not supported.  However, it

does appear that the background for card elements is supported.  When I use the following in the theme file, I would expect

that card backgrounds become an eye-searing fushia, but it seems that there is no affect.  Can someone explain why

the cardBackground is not working?  Any help is greatly appreciated.

 

{
  "name": "Dark",
  "background": "#FF0080",
  "foreground": "#E7E7E7",
  "tableAccent": "#FF0080",
  "dataColors": ["#009FC2", "#A24FA4", "#D34C4B", "#FDB913", "#8DC058"],
  "visualStyles": {
    "*": {
      "*": {
        "items": [{
            "fontColor": {
              "solid": {
                "color": "#737373"
              }
            },
            "background": "#FF0080",
            "textSize": 8,
            "fontFamily": "Arial"
          }
        ]
      }
    },

    "card": {
      "*": {
        "labels": [{
            "color": {
              "solid": {
                "color": "#E7E7E7"
              }
            },
            "fontSize": 24,
            "fontFamily": "Arial"
          }
        ],
        "cardBackground": {
          "solid": {
            "color": "#FF0080"
          }
        },
        "categoryLabels": [{
            "show": true,
            "color": {
              "solid": {

            "fontSize": 9
          }
        ]
      }
    },

The July 2018 release provides support for background colors.  The snippet below has a dark grey background with a lighter grey area surrounding it.  Enjoy.

          }
        ]
      }

Hi, like @gaccardo wrote. There is a background option wich works for me. Here is an Example for Cards:

{
   "name": "Card-Background-Example",
   "background": "#ffffff",
   "foreground": "#000000",
   "dataColors": [
      "#8AD4EB",
      "#939498",
      "#C0504D",
      "#DB6D4B"
   ],
   "visualStyles": {
      "*": {
         "*": {
            "*": [
               {
                  "fontSize": 12,
                  "fontFamily": "Calibri",
                  "color": {
                     "solid": {}
                  }
               }
            ],
            "general": [
               {
                  "responsive": true
               }
            ]
         }
      },
      "card": {
         "*": {
            "background": [
               {
                  "show": true,
                  "color": {
                     "solid": {
                        "color": "#8AD4EB"
                     }
                  },
                  "transparency": 0
               }
            ],
            "labels": [
               {
                  "show": true,
                  "color": {
                     "solid": {
                        "color": "#ffffff"
                     }
                  },
                  "fontSize": 14,
                  "fontFamily": "Calibri"
               }
            ]
         }
      }
   }
}

Hi @gaccardo

 

Did you enable the option ? 

report-themes_2

 

- Quentin

The option is enabled.  The other settings for cards seem to work, but background colors seem to be 

ignored for pretty much visualization I've tried.  I asked about cards specifically, because the Theme Generator

supports it, and it is documented.  Most of the other documented elements I've tried work as expected.

 

Hi, @gaccardo

 

I have a same problem. Did you solve it?

It changed everything but only background does'n work.

 

Did you ever get this figured out? Having the same problem.

The July 2018 release provides support for background colors.  The snippet below has a dark grey background with a lighter grey area surrounding it.  Enjoy.

 

    "*": {
      "*": {
        "*": [{
            "fontSize": 8,
            "fontFamily": "Arial",
            "titleFontFamily": "Arial",
            "color": {
              "solid": {
                "color": "#77777"
              }
            }
          }
        ]
      }
    },

    "page": {
      "*": {
        "background": [{
            "color": {
              "solid": {
                "color": "#333333"
              }
            },
            "transparency": 0
          }
        ],
        "outspace": [{
            "color": {
              "solid": {
                "color": "#444444"
              }
            },
            "transparency": 0
          }
        ]
      }
    },

@gaccardo This helped a lot but for some reason the transparency wont change for me. Has the naming convention for it changed or something?

This doesn't adress the question. How do you set the background color for visualizations? The page isn't the problem.
