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!

RE: Option to use either light or dark interface.
The worst choice every. Horrible look burning my eyes!
Did you do a user test, before deciding to implement this UX?
Or you just thought it might be a good idea, based on shoulder tapping within enclosed team of few?
Give as at least a choice!!!

RE: Option to use either light or dark interface.
Finding it difficult to work using the light menus on the new version, please go back to dark or give an option to select light or dark menu theme. I don't want to revert to an earlier version because I'm already using some of the new features (which are excellent)
RE: Option to use either light or dark interface.
Why did you make this change without an option to toggle between the new and old modes? Awful, very hard on the eyes, everything is harder to read. What a step back in usability. Everything else I have runs in dark mode to reduce eye strain, please give us the option here.

Please revert!!!
RE: Option to use either light or dark interface.
I think the light theme would have been much better received were you not taking away the choice from users. Many of us prefer a darker theme and find it easier on our eyes. While the light theme looks great, I feel less eye strain and am less prone to headaches when working with a dark theme. My Office theme is also set to dark. Please consider including a dark theme and allowing users to decide what works best for them.

please at least give the end users the option to switch back to dark mode, thanks!
RE: Option to use either light or dark interface.
The new light theme on the UI is terrible and makes using the product more difficult and not user-friendly. The lighting environment I work in makes the side panels difficult to see now. The dark theme was great.
RE: Option to use either light or dark interface.
The new "modern" theme looks like an old Windows 98 application. Power BI just went back 20 years in GUI design. Please bring back the Dark theme, it makes the program so much better to work in.
RE: Option to use either light or dark interface.
The theme should go back to dark, or at least give users the option to change it. If you're upset about this update, you can also vote here: https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/37882726-option-to-use-either-light-or-dark-interface
