With the new service update the icons for Reports, Dashboards, Datasets lost their color and are just white icons now. Makes it difficult to separate. For example i know the datasets are orange, reports are blue and dashboards are green. Please consider putting this back the way it was or color code them in a different way

Good information, thankssehackear.top
RE: PBI Service Updqate Icons
I wanted to know what is the reason of changing the color. the old style was already good. with every thing turn gray, very dificult to the eye. They don't seem to understand the basic of design.
RE: PBI Service Updqate Icons
The Power BI portal shows objects (datasets, reports, workspaces, etc) with an associated "type" icon. The icon is a wireframe. Why is the icon a wireframe? They are impossible to tell apart with a glance. What is the use of having ultrawide screens that display thousands of colors when the applications on those screens are essentially monochrome black-and-white? I know the push is to return to a "clients-working-on-a-single-mainframe" model of computing and to go away from personal devices as a whole, but can we at least keep the design principles that keep us from regressing away from rich-color graphical user interfaces and returning to command line monochrome user interfaces?Either remove the wireframe icons, as they are indistinguishable from each other and are useless and annoying, or add colors or some other kind of distinguishing characteristics to the iconography of the portal. Silhouettes are a fundamental aspect of design, so why does the design team who made these icons appear completely ignorant of this very basic design principle?If I want to look at some monochrome wireframe symbols that convey the exact same information in a better way and that I can actually tell apart at a glance, there is the "Type" column that conveys the same information as the icon-style "Type" column except it uses Latin characters that I can read instead of mystifying iconography that is indistinguishable and meaningless without a mouseover.
RE: PBI Service Updqate Icons
In the old layout, datasets had orange icons, reports - blue etc. This was a good way to tell which item is what at a glance, and was a good UX design. The new updated look, where everything has a gray icon makes it difficult to know at a glance what you're looking at.Please either revert to colored icons, or add an option in user settings to switch between colored and monotone.
RE: PBI Service Updqate Icons
Agreed! - We need the color icons back (or at least give us the option) - Thanks!

RE: PBI Service Updqate Icons
Completely agreed, the colors being gone throws off my work flow.
