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!

How to destroy the UX in one update...

RE: Option to use either light or dark interface.

This is a ridiculous update to make without the option to revert back. It is so hard on my eyes after years of dark mode.

Having the option makes sense.

RE: Option to use either light or dark interface.

I had a concussion recently and staring at a screen isn't particularly good for you. (but ya know.. work = moneys) but now its a painfully bright screen.

Feels made worse by not being able to change back to the original dark mode. I just don't why you would force the update while having no ability to go back to original mode. *shrugs*

Please bring back the dark mode. I have to redo some of the previous dashboards due to a direct query issue. But the dark mode is no longer available, which means we have to re-adjust the colors on the visuals.

DARK MODE or at least a CHOICE.
Side note: reminiscent of the old Microsoft to make a change and dictate the choice..... going back to Tableau until this is fixed.
