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!

'+1 - I've used the light version pretty much all day and my eyes hurt. I've got Office 365 and Visual Studio both set to dark mode so would be good to be able to do the same in Power BI.

Completely agree. The light interface is very hard to stare at. Would love to either revert back to the dark interface or at the very least have an option.

Please bring back the Dark mode, this white mode is really hurting my eyes

I would prefer the dark mode as well. I spent the better part of 20 min trying to change it when I realized you can't.

i LOVE the new theme! Light theme is very easy on the eyes.

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.
