1. Customize the default theme with your colors, fonts, etc.
2. Export the customized theme.
Save the theme as a JSON file.
3. Encode the background image you want to use in Base64.
Here is a site that will do it for you: Image to Base64 Converter - Encode Images to Base64 - Online - Browserling Web Developer Tools
I took our default slide master in PowerPoint, added the BlueGranite logo, and saved as PNG. Then I took that file and used the above site to encode as Base64. Here's the final JSON file I used if you'd like to utilize it as well.
4. Open the JSON theme in a text editor.
Add the following snippet to the “visualStyles” section of the JSON theme you saved in Step 2:
"page": {
"*": {
"background": [
{
"image": {
"name": "<<change this to a name you prefer>>",
"scaling": "Fit",
"url": "data:image/jpeg;base64,<<insert the Base64 code here>>"
},
"transparency": 0
}
]
}
}
Everything between the “<<” and the “>>” needs to be replaced including the “<<”/”>>”.
5. Browse and import the updated theme.
Here’s what the BGTheme looks like with a blank page in Power BI:
There are many other customizable settings you can specify in a custom theme that aren’t exposed thru the “Customize current theme” option from the View menu. You can go so far as to customize the look-and-feel of each individual visualization type.
