New Desktop app update installed an almost white user interface. There is zero contrast which is not good for the eyes. I see where some people have requested a light interface so incorporate an option to select either light or dark theme like in the Office apps.

This request is on our roadmap, but we don't have timelines to share yet. We'll update this idea when there are more details to share. Thank you!

RE: Option to use either light or dark interface.

I've recently begun using PowerBI and I am starting to regret it, as I only discovered recently there is no DARK Mode, thanks for the extra headaches...as we are now stuck with PowerBI. How is this not standard these days. The fact that screen time impacts eyesight, and causes damage has been documented for well over a DECADE!

RE: Option to use either light or dark interface.

PowerBI is painful for me to use with the super light interface. It doesn't help that I have to use this app so much because that's what my customer base expects their reporting to be done in. This needs addressed as quickly as possible for users like myself who can hardly stand even the thought of using PowerBI.

RE: Option to use either light or dark interface.

This is the top request by far by Power Bi users.It was raised back in 2019, 4 years ago.Here we are in 2023, still not done and not addressed.Latest update dates back to July 2022, vaguely saying, yeah sure, good idea, it's somewhere on our roadmap.Guys, why do you accept ideas from your user base if you have no intention to adress them?Just close the whole damn Power BI ideas site. You obviously don't need user feedback to stay busy it seems.

It's not good to use Power BI like this for long periods of time, especially since it sits on my larger monitor for better viewing of the dashboards. A dark mode is really necessary for us all.

RE: Option to use either light or dark interface.

What is Microsoft's timeframe to have dark mode made available for Power BI? What date can we expect to have this feature implemented in the latest release of Power BI?
