Disable default theme.json

Gutenberg needs the theme.json in wp-includes to generate a CSS which gives styles for the editor. Without such styles the Editor might be not usable.

If you want to override settings you have to add a custom theme.json in your theme-directory. Again: it is not possible to disable this.

Thanks that exactly what I needed. The default null settings has done the trick

{
	"version": 2,
	"settings": {
        "color": {
			"duotone": null,
			"palette": null,
			"gradients": null
        },
		"typography": {
			"fontSizes": null
		}
    },
	"styles": null,
	"variables": null,
	"presets": null
}

If you know is there any possibility to disable transients for these settings also? As I can see, when calling global styles, WordPress first delete and then set settings from theme.json into transients called _transient_global_styles_theme_name and _transient_timeout_global_styles_theme_name. That extra 4 slow queries. With setting above, I just set empty string as a transient. The only things I can see which may disable it are WP_DEBUG === true or SCRIPT_DEBUG === true or REST_REQUEST === true (file wp-includes/global-styles-and-settings.php line 88). But it is a production mode so WP_DEBUG is set to false. I tried to disable global styles registration but no luck so far

Sort of thinking out loud on the disabling the transient, could maybe hook to the filter?

add_filter('pre_transient_global_styles_theme_name', '__return_true', 10 );

Yes this filter worked thanks a lot)

Yay!

Glad to hear that works. I went spelunking on the code trying to recall what the hook was called for the transients.
