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.

Saving custom colors too. Whenever I want to use brand colors I have to type them in or select something that already has that color so that it will appear in my palette.

Not only the default, but how about a way of changing all fonts on a report?

Set default by visual and if you change anything all pages that report update

RE: Set default theme

Yet another reason I continue to use Excel as my primary reporting UI. 20 years of a mature UI, well worked out with years of revisions.

RE: Set default theme

I would also like to see report themes expanded to allow placement of custom graphics and text, such as corporate logos or identifying footnotes, on the report surface so they are in a consistent location every time a new report is created. This is similar to PowerPoint templates, which have supported this for many years.
