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!

The lighter color looks alright but its hard to look at for long periods of time. I work in Power BI most of the day and I find my eyes hurting having to look at this color pallet for more than an hour. Having the Microsoft Themes is a good idea but Dark Mode shouldn't have been removed completely until the themes were ready to be implemented. Please being back an option to switch between the light and dark.

RE: Option to use either light or dark interface.

I am not installing the current version because of the colour issue - it is unusable - I have poor vision and have every app in dark mode.

I cannot try the new features until the dark mode comes back...

Seriously? Microsoft why can't you not just incorporate the office themes? At least give us the option to roll it back to the original BI color scheme we are used to.
