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!

Please this would be very important (and simple to implement I can imagine since it was in place before)

I would love to see a dark mode theme in Power BI to ease the transition between various Microsoft products that I use on a daily basis. These apps include Visual Studio 2019, VS Code, Azure Data Studio, Azure Storage Explorer.

Power BI gives me enough headaches already. I dont need the new theme to be another one

RE: Option to use either light or dark interface.

I guess Microsoft intention is to make us go blind. How can they develop a visualization/analytic tool such as Power BI desktop without the ability for the end users to customize it? And, come to think of it this app (power Bi desktop) will be used almost all every day especially for those that do visualization task. Someone really needs to do something. We need to be able to change the UI theme as needed.
