CustomTheme

The CustomTheme object contains settings to customize the content theme (added as a separate property). The custom theme can cover an entire set of theme settings, or override a selection of settings. The custom theme override property of embedOptions takes the customTheme object to dynamically inject the changes into the current visual.

Using the CustomTheme Object

Constructors

  • There is NO constructor for the CustomTheme object
  • CustomTheme is made up of a collection of hierarchical properties (key-value pairs)

You do NOT need to supply the entire object - as settings will be adjusted for those properties supplied only.

To get a better sense of all the theme settings and options, see the theme editor in the admin.

Content Theme Object Groups

  • general – global font styles and icons
  • grid – context menu style and icons
  • visuals – smart insights dialog style
  • slicers – presentation specific styles, like the side menu
