Add Primary Font Classes to Global Template

There are 4 primary level text classes that control fonts used throughout almost every visual (edge cases still exist). These should be added to the global-level template.

Segoe UI Bold font family does not work [Resolved]

I was trying to set the column headers in a table as Segoe UI Bold. Surprisingly, everything Segoe works, except for Segoe UI Bold. It turns out, if you want to set Segoe UI Bold, you have to use the font family as following:

"fontFamily": "wf_segoe-ui_bold"

Add JSON Testing Action for all PRs

It's straightforward to compare JSONs to a sample schema and ensure they meet a minimum standard of a test schema.

A valid, but manual version of this as a github action is implemented in https://github.com/MattRudy/PowerBIThemeSolutions

I've reached out to @nhalstead about the action below to understand if his method can handle wildcards as this would be a big QOL improvement for this repo.

New set of Shapes need to be tested with current Shape Theme

Source: Cloned from Issue 63 in original repository.

Current Shape Theme visualStyle is 'basicShape', other visualStyle values seen include 'shape'

Follow-up from jujiro:
I played around with Shape JSON. It worked only when I renamed "basicShape" to "shape". I also noticed that the shape JSON was unable to set the line thickness (weight) and the color. Since the line weight is adjusted in the outline section, perhaps a new section needs to be added to this JSON. I tried various names, to no avail.

Settings for visual header

Source: Cloned from Issue 21 in original repository.

Hello,
thank you so much for this example repository. It is so much better, than the official Microsoft documentation and saved me a lot of frustration.

The only thing I could not find in here were the granular settings for the visual header, so I analyzed the Power BI Service and found these settings. Maybe you can add them somewhere around here?
This is what I found out (see below). I did use the "background" part, as well as the "showFilterRestatementButton", which is basically the Filter Icon. I also used "showDrillToggleButton", which is the icon that enables drill down on double click. I hope it will help others.

"visualHeader": [
      {
          "show": true,
          "background": {
              "solid": {
                  "color": "#0081C7"
              }
          },
          "foreground": {
              "solid": {
                  "color": "#558100"
              }
          },
          "transparency": 50,
          "showCommentButton": true,
          "showCopyVisualImageButton": true,

Add Global Color Formatting to Global Template

Global colors can be set in 3 ways:

Data Colors - the color palette that will be available and used by default for all visuals

Other Theme Colors - the colors that will be used to express data states across your reports, including:

• good
• neutral
• bad
• maximum
• center
• minimum
• null

Structural Colors - the colors that will affect all other visual elements like labels, gridlines, outlines, backgrounds, etc., including:

• firstLevelElements
• secondLevelElements
• thirdLevelElements
• fourthLevelElements
• background
• secondaryBackground
• tableAccent

More reading can be done here:

Structural Colors: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/create-reports/desktop-report-themes#setting-structural-colors

Stacked Column - Title Color

In the valueAxis section of the Stacked Column visual, the "color" property should be changed to "titleColor".

As an aside: thank you for creating a fork of this repository! You're the best.

Include Theme Color Palette

Source: Modified from Issue 22 in original repository.

Would be great to be able to change the default colors that appear on the Power BI desktop color palette selection.

Response by @glitteryqueen:

You can easily do that either by entering the Theme section on your Power BI or with a JSON like:

{ 
    "name": "newcolors, 
    "dataColors": ["#74b9ff", "#0984e3", "#fd79a8", "#fab1a0", "#fdcb6e", "#d63031", "#2d3436", "#55efc4"],
    "background":"#FFFFFF",
    "foreground": "#747480",
    "tableAccent": "#FFFFFF"
}

You just set up 8 different colors for your data set, and the background, foreground and table accent.

Slicers - Missing theme setting for search box background

Source: Cloned from Issue 18 created by @aaronsteers in the original repository.

Part 1
I'm not sure if this is a missing setting or missing configurability on the Power BI product side.

Currently, the background color for a slicer search box is always "white" (#ffffff) and the search box text color appears to be pulled from the top-level theme "foreground" setting - which for a dark mode is likely also "white". The result is a white-on-white search box that isn't readable - and worse, if typed in by the user creates an invisible filter against the slicer's context.

The only workaround I have found is to completely disable search boxes in slicers and then hope the user does not re-enable them. This is especially painful for "dark mode" themes (my use case) but it may be affecting others as well.

Any assist or workaround would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Part 2
Related: https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/38574625-enable-setting-the-background-of-search-box-in-sli

Part 3
Temporary workaround is to use a non-white color (blue in the below example) for the "label" text class.

Example:

{
 "name": "sample theme snippet",
  "textClasses": {
    "label": {
      "fontSize": 12,
      "fontFace": "Segoe UI",
      "color": "#c2d8fe"
    }
  }
}

Part 4
Update: When setting the "label" text class, this also overrides the default text box color - which also appears to not be independently configurable. It would therefor be helpful to know if there's also a way to override the default font color for text boxes. (The repo here shows a sample to override the background color but not the default text color for text boxes.)
