    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.

    Can we have a dark mode option for the UI?

    I can't find a way to set the actual application to dark mode / high contrast. A workaround is to set Windows 10 to dark mode, but sometimes this is inefficient.

    Bump. No timeline yet almost a year after noting it's 'on the roadmap'. Please, our eyes are begging.

    Can we please have such a feature already? Dark backgrounds have massively grown in popularity. Yet we still see universal white backgrounds in focus mode no matter the theme being used in report mode. Having the ability to modify the focus mode background, whether universally, visual-specific, in any way, would be nice.

    Need this in Fabric... there is already an idea for dark mode for PowerBI, but thats from 2019. Do we need a separate 'idea' for Fabric? It's a little confusing especially as in the filters it looks like Fabric is called 'Core'!?!
