Custom themes don't work?

I am using Qlik Sense Enterprise, version April 2018

I went through the site documentation about custom themes. Here is the code I put into my theme.json:

{

"_inherit": true

"straightTable" : {

"header" : {

"fontSize" : "16px",

"color": "#FF0000"

}

I reckon this should just make the header letters of my straight tables red and 16.

I saved, zipped, imported succesfully, and sure enough, I get the option to use my custom theme when going to the app settings. However, when I select it, nothing happens. Even more interestingly, I hradly notice any difference even when selecting between Qlik Classic, Breeze and Focus. Am I missing something?

George, you are missing the "object" node in you theme JSON. It should be:

{

"_inherit": true,

"object": {

"straightTable": {

"header": {

"fontSize": "16px",

"color": "#FF0000"

}

A tip is also to validate your JSON code, i.e using https://jsonlint.com/

For the 3 built in themes there are some slight differences. The Focus theme adds a card look to the objects on the grid, but uses the same colors as Classic. Breeze does the same, but uses different color scales.
