Zebra BI Charts, January Update (version 4.0.1) now fully supports custom themes, provided in the extended JSON format. This allows users to set up their preferred theme/style or align their Power BI reports and dashboards with their company’s corporate design.
All colors and fonts, that were previously customizable on each instance of the Zebra BI visual or set centrally in the Zebra BI member portal (for Pro users), are now fully exposed and can be specified in an extended JSON format for Power BI themes.
In addition, any of the Zebra BI settings can be controlled by a theme, which enables a complete governance over your Zebra BI reports.
