Option to use either light or dark interface.

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.

The zero-contrast flat off-white theming was a major step back in UI design, and it's been years now and STILL no movement on this. How hard can it be - you already had a nice interface with contrast between the workspace and the various toolbars and blades, and then you decided to bleach our eyes with the current abhorrent assault on the senses. Some people may like getting eye strain, but at least give people the option for crying out loud.

How has something so easy and small sat here for so long?

Hello PowerBI team. Fantastic product, if it wasn't for the lack of a dark mode. I seriously do not understand why such basic functionality is not a core feature of your software.

Could you please, please, pleeeease(!) bump this feature request up on your to-do list and make life much easier and more pleasant for thousands of people?

Best regards

The current PowerBI theme is like throwing bleach into my eyes.

Please drop EVERYTHING you do and put the whole department on one single task: FIX DARK THEME.

Thanks.

Can we get an update on this? This is really necessary for long days working in Power BI Desktop. More frequently Data Engineers, Data Architects, Data Warehouse Developers, BI Architects and other roles are going into Power BI Desktop. The transaction from Visual Studio for SSIS packages or Azure Tabular cube development and deployment in Dark Mode/Theme to Power BI reporting in the heavy white background is just painful. This is a top-tier end user consumption reporting tool and development tool. Please, please, please bring the Dark Interface capability back. This has to be priority #1 for the Microsoft Power BI Development team.
