Theme settings from existing report

Ethel — Wed, 11 Aug 2021 19:13:12 GMT

We have a Qlik Sense report with a very good design. Is it possible to use this report as a "theme"? Automatically save all fonts, colors, alignments, logos etc. to apply the same settings to all other reports?

Thanks a lot in advance!!

Hi @Ethel

You can't use a QVF as a theme, but you can create a custom theme:

Kind Regards.

Thank you very much! I'm trying to modify horizon theme instead of creating new theme from scratch. I was able to find horizon json file, but I cannot find css file. Does it exist? I need it because I need to set up a predefined color and insert logo into a "bar"(line, header) at the top of the page (it says "My new sheet") . Could you please help me to set a color and a logo in this top bar. Thanks a lot in advance!

Hi @Ethel

The Json file has the layout definitions, if you go the menu "Custom Theme JSON properties" it explains how it works, it also has an Example(the right menu shows the option)

Section "Full example of theme.json"

https://help.qlik.com/en-US/sense-developer/May2021/Subsystems/Extensions/Content/Sense_Extensions/CustomThemes/custom-themes-properties.htm#anchor-5

That example shows how to make reference to .css file (custom_styles)

"customStyles": [
{
"cssRef": "theme.css",
"classRef": "my-theme"
}
],

Hope it helps!
