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
Help my productivity please :-)
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.
RE: Set default theme
This would be a great feature.
We currently have our own theme but changing the theme to ours every time manually is a painful process.
Hope Microsoft will implement this feature.
RE: Set default theme
It would be great if you increase Default font size. So we dont need to change individual visualizations
RE: Set default theme
Yes, this would help ensure that all Power BI reports are brand compliant without needing to do a lager amount of editing which can be time consuming
RE: Set default theme
I tried to vote on this, but it wouldn't let me. I'd like to be able to load a custom json file theme by default at launch
RE: Set default theme
I have a JSON file with a theme that I apply to most of my reports. Right now I have to import it anew every time I launch Power BI or create a new file. It would be great if it was possible to direct Power BI Desktop to load that custom file by default at at launch
RE: Set default theme
Hi RCC, that is a very tedious method. It also makes managing updates to the JSON difficult. We are a large organization and need an easy way to distribute theming.
RE: Set default theme
You can create custom JSON's and distribute them with the licenses for the Pro users though.
RE: Set default theme
It would be useful for organisations to be able to implement a corporate style in Power BI. This includes setting the font style, font size and default colours. It should be simple to apply the style to reports that are loaded into the Power BI service for the organisation or developed in PBI developer for the organisation.
