extended object styling in new table/pivot table

is it possible to define styling properties in a custom theme for the new straight/pivot tables (in the qlik visualization bundle) like for the "basic" objects?

I bumped into this exact question as well: can we apply a custom theme (or styling) to the new table / pivot table objects in the Visualization Bundle. Per the docs you can style them (see the object type names like pivotTable and straightTableV2) via JSON in the theme. Qlik Developer Portal+2Qlik Community+2

What worked for us as a workaround:
• Identify the object key names for your theme file (e.g., "object": { "pivotTable": { … } })
• In your theme JSON, add styling for headers/content (font sizes, colours, background) under pivotTable.header / pivotTable.content. Qlik Developer Portal+1
• If you still hit limitations (because the new object may not support some of the old straight-table CSS classes) you can fallback to injecting CSS (as many have done) to override via .qv-object-pivotTable .qv-st-header-cell { … }. Qlik Community+1

It’s not perfect yet (there are still gaps in built-in styling of the new objects) but we’ve managed to get consistent look & feel across tables until a full styling capability is released.
