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 love the fact that Power BI is getting a new look. At the same time, it would be nice if we could actually change the theme. Users who have light sensitivity will not find the light theme conducive to using the platform.

RE: Option to use either light or dark interface.

I'm visually impaired in my right eye so I find it difficult to work with bright white layouts and tool bars and data/graph icons. I can't be alone in this. Please can you make it possible to create a dark/night time dev screen. The previous theme was manageable but the bright June 2019 has put me at a significant disadvantage.

Please make dark mode available as an option. I am unable to focus as well when working with very bright back-lighting on a display. Having the screen go from the previous version, which was generously in the middle of bright and dark, to a full white background has been very hard to adjust to and causes eye-strain much earlier in the day when compared to use of other darker apps. I am a pretty frequent BI user 3+ hours daily.

Please fix. This should have never NOT been introduced when light mode was forced upon us.

What were they thinking? Had to turn my brightness down!
