Custom Theme Help: Flexible Measure Colors & Axis Tick Styling

[InsightPilot]

Hi Qlik Community,

I'm customizing a Qlik theme and have two questions I could really use help with:

1. How can I make KPI/measure colors flexible in a custom theme?

I want to define a default measure color (e.g., white for dark mode), but still allow designers to change the measure color in the property panel. Currently, it stays fixed and cannot be overridden.

What I tried in theme.json:

"object": {
  "kpi": {
    "value": {
      "color": "@measureColor"
    }
  }
},
"color": {
  "palette": {
    "measureColor": "#FFFFFF"
  }
}

What I tried in theme.css:

.qv-object * {
  color: #FFFFFF !important;
}

But this seems to override everything and makes the measure color uneditable in the UI. What's the correct way to define a default color without locking it?

2. How do I style the axis tick values (not labels or titles)?

I'd like to set axis tick numbers (e.g., 0, 5, 10…) to a specific color like #E0E0E0, but keep titles/labels untouched.

What I tried in theme.css:

.qv-axis text,
text.qv-axis {
  fill: #E0E0E0 !important;
}

Also tried:

.qv-object-axis text {
  fill: #E0E0E0 !important;
}

Neither worked. Does anyone know the right selector or workaround for targeting just tick values?

---

I’ll include a screenshot for clarity.
Thanks so much in advance!

Could you please suggest what is the key objective of doing these via the Theme ? isn't it there or doable with the default options which we have. 

If you can share some insights about your task, it would help me to share more details.
