Give users the ability to set a theme (either an out-of-the-box or custom theme) as their default for all reports created in Power BI Desktop.

*** Original idea text below:

A dedicated place to set defaults for all Power Bi visuals. If I always want my titles to be 15pt font, and my general font to be 12 pt, I currently have to set on each visual.

Color Themes. All visualization Revert to default.
Overwrite all manual setting.

RE: Set default theme

Colors can be controlled in the JSON file but font size and type alone would be a huge benefit! Then even better to differentiate headers.

RE: Set default theme

I had the same issue and now wanting to update a theme is causing more issues without a way to update themes for reports created in PowerBI service.

RE: Set default theme

Yes please!!! Let us set our default font type, size, color, etc.. very time consuming to change every visual

RE: Set default theme

I was looking for a solution for this problem because we want to implement this on my company for all the Power Bi users. It would be a great improvement.

RE: Set default theme

This is terrible weakness from Micro$oft not having this feature available

RE: Set default theme

This and ideally the ability to change all fonts on a report at once. Or the ability to do all of each of the Format sections.

RE: Set default theme

Every Microsoft productivity application allows for the setting of default formats and/or the mass change across the document of format settings. I do not understand why this limitation exists in PowerBI Desktop.
