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.

The team or that person who was behind this decision to change the color to light need to go find another job, A non-competent who make decision like change color of a interface need have knowledge about design and color.

"Do not touch too much or you will destroy it." , this is what Power BI just did.

RE: Option to use either light or dark interface.

There are a few other threads for this exact same thing (very likely to be more than just the 2 below):
https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/37882726-option-to-use-either-light-or-dark-interface

https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/38061028-please-allow-to-revert-back-to-the-dark-mode-pow

Combined votes for these threads are close to 1,500 (currently) surely that's a good enough indication that the users of PowerBI really need to have the option to go back to dark mode?!

please give us the option to return to dark mode, this white background is very hard on the eyes.

Force light mode like this is clearly not a good idea. Very rough for the eyes! Please allow a dark mode. Think before force thing like this. Sometime you don't seem to think about your existing customers.

Dark mode is essential for those of us who are light-sensitive. Please restore at least the option.

RE: Option to use either light or dark interface.

Please, latest update makes it almost imposible to work. Give some option to make it dark mode.
