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.

RE: Set default theme

Totally agree. I had customers specifically stating they want a certain size and font.
Changing each visual, several times ( change for the title, change for the data labels, change..etc), just shouldn't happen in Microsoft.

This would be very useful.

RE: Set default theme

The September 2019 release we now use for on-premise changed to a default font that looks great on the web, but leaves the client side of the report virtually unreadable. Please tell me there is a way to change this.

RE: Set default theme

We have a company branding with different fonts and colours. Would be great to be able to define these before building reports. Lots of time involved in this. Also being able to select RGB colours would be great

Hard to believe this isn't a thing yet.

RE: Set default theme

We generate more reports in the service than in desktop, so it would be great if we could keep a consistent "look and feel".

RE: Set default theme

agree, but this idea needs desperately an addition of the following:
if an "organziation approved theme" is updated, automatically update all reports using this theme accordingly

RE: Set default theme

Huge amount of time wasted while default font size NEVER fits our needs and then I have to change it for each element (headers, vaues...) in each visual.
