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.

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 fix this.  This should be priority #1 for Power BI Desktop.  The brightness is burning my eyes.

I hope this update comes out soon because I don't like the light interface as it gives me eye strains.

I am confident that not everyone posting about concerns with the light interface are in the "older" population but I am and I truly struggle with this.   My guess is that the team that came up with the white-on-white interface had no member on it over 50.  The workforce is aging and so are our eyes.  Please do something to help us to continue to grow, learn and remain relevant even as we age.

87 pages of comments, over 7000 updates, and this is still "Under review" with no timeline?



Seriously, how hard is it to make your apps' UI conform to Windows' theme settings?

How close are we on this.  Just wrapping up on work for the day in Power BI Desktop.  My eyes are literally burning as if I have stared at the sun all day.  :-)  All other Microsoft applications have a dark theme.  Let's make it happen in Power BI Desktop the service.  This is a top priority for Developers.

Hello, A dark mode for the power BI app would be greatly appreciated, working long hours making a report with a bright UI is very harmful for our eyes.



Thank you for your work

why it does have to wait for Major Update to just release a 'bug' fix for this one? Getting tired of your s, Come On!
