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!

I’m so upset with the new light UI. Please, please, allow a dark mode option.

Please bring back the original theme or at least enable a dark mode option.

100% Need dark mode, to the likes of Visual studio and other Office apps. Power Bi is built on flexibility and customizable features. So doing this should be a no brainer.

Another vote for this. Fair enough, add a light scheme, taking away the dark one entirely is very silly though.

I agree with everyone else who's posted here: the new lighter interface SUCKS! Bring back the dark interface or give us the option to switch between the two.

RE: Option to use either light or dark interface.

Switching to a lighter theme without leaving the option to switch back to the dark theme is a bit puzzling. Would like to see the dark theme restored soon, or provide the ability to choose.
