Manage report-wide themes and per-visual conditional formatting. No Power BI Desktop connection is needed.
Applying a Theme
Power BI themes are JSON files that define colours, fonts, and visual defaults for the entire report. Apply one with:
pbi report set-theme --file corporate-theme.json
This copies the theme file into the report's StaticResources/RegisteredResources/
folder and updates report.json to reference it. The theme takes effect when
the report is opened in Power BI Desktop.
Inspecting the Current Theme
pbi report get-theme
Returns:
- base_theme -- the built-in theme
