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 wish that they would switch this awful theme, this light grey burns my eyes and I get headaches if I look more that 10 minute on the dashboard. It is too reckless to make such a change without a option to revert it back to normal.

RE: Option to use either light or dark interface.

Who makes a change like this without an option to switch back? That's such a dumb decision, please change it back or at least give us the option to pick light or dark. Forcing these kind of arbitrary changes out of the blue in a minor update that gets automatically installed is totally unacceptable.

The new light mode on the latest update really makes it difficult to differentiate between the different panes. Can we please please please have the option to revert back to the original dark mode without having to re-install a previous version???

Please return the Dark UI. It was easier to read and much easier on the eyes when you spend hours looking at the same screen.

This was a dumb change. Everybody I talk to hates it. I don't even bring it up half the time.

I now have to advise my children not to look straight into the sun or Power BI Desktop.

Please add Dark Mode back into the Desktop version of Power BI, it sucks looking at it in light mode when I have every other app running in Dark Mode.
