Custom themes
- Hi. It is not possible yet. But a certain of the designer was shown at ignite that had customized themes. So I guess we just need to keep waiting a little longer.
Cheers
Régis Hi! We're working on support for customizing the colors in your reports, but please go vote on the ideas you want implemented:
Thanks!
That is certainly reassuring! That said, and with "monthly" updates, we sure could use guidance as to "how to best prepare" for "colored" backgrounds so that we don't have to start over when the "full themes" functionality rolls out.
Themes are, without a doubt, a huge customer requirement and a competitive "disadvantage"!
We read about a "Themes/Customer Gallery" and that would be an enormous benefit - please make this ASAP!
Would it be possible to "provide us some roadmap guidance"?
You should see the public themes gallery release next week! When we update the theme definition to include background, you won't have to recreate your theme files, it will be additive. All the previous themes you had should still be valid, and you can just add extra stuff to it now to do more.
Thank you for the quick reply! Very reassuring to hear!
When "backgrounds" finally get added, will we finally be able to "pin to dashboards" and maintain the PBI Desktop "themes" as well?
Great, looking forward to a Gallery of themes to choose from. I've been searching high and low to find it.
Hey xxcorpxx we just announced the gallery! Here's the link the the gallery and the blog post announcing it. I'll be updating the March Desktop release blog post as well with this announcement.
Congradulations Amanda and the Power BI Team!!! Unfortunately, the "link to the gallery" - both in your community post above and in your blog post near the top of the post - doesn't yet seem to work as I am getting an "red access denied error" after I log-in to the community.
Anyone else get it to work?
Hi Amanda,
It is now April 10, 2017, so could you provide as estimated timeline of when "Power BI Service" with Dashboards composed of "pinned tiles" may allow "themes including background colors".
And, for that matter as well, approx when we might see "Background color theming in Power BI Desktop" to compliment the EXCELLENT "Theming preview" in the March release.
Unfortunately, we like many others are "MIS-using" PIN live "Power BI Desktop reports to Dashboards" to artificially overcome the fact that "currently" pinned tiles to create dashboards DO NOT yet allow "theming". This is not great for both us and our customers as it can be a lot of work to "REDO" a lot of work!
I believe the the Power BI service is "updated" more like weekly vs. the Power BI Desktop app is "monthly". Unfortunately, while there are many exciting new cpabilities with the PBI Desktop April release last week, we see no mention of any further enhancements to the "PREVIEW Themes" from March?
COLOR THEMES are just so "inherently prevalent" in nearly everything we do these days - from web page design to advertising and branding to even Woindows 10 THEMES - that "it's really important" to get this functioanlity in Power BI as soon as possible !
Hello, I'm still using the trial version of Power BI, but unable to see any way to set default colors for charts, or to apply custom themes / templates. Is the feature not available with the trial version? Thanks!
Any plans to add customs color themes to Power BI Service?
