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 have light sensitivity and not having dark mode is killing me. Also being color blind, I find contrast to be harder to see in the light mode and themes than dark.

I really really Dark Mode in my life. Starring at white bright screen all day will kill my eyes.

RE: Option to use either light or dark interface.

I'm strongly red-green colour blind such that my colour perception is negatively affected across the entire colour spectrum. And, the existing high contrast options are terrible. Please do a better job of supporting colour blind users.

You used to have dark mode...then you removed it...and now it's on the timeline but no ETA? This is terrible UX and has real accessibility impacts.

I think I voted. But not sure. I can't see after scorching both retinas while working on Power BI Desktop all morning.
