Dark Mode Pdf export makes canvas dark bug
Hi artjomsf,
You should be able to switch back via the interface. I cannot reproduce that issue in the version I am using, 2.137.751.0 64-bit (October 2024). In that version I am able to switch back.
The Power BI Desktop app stores its settings in an xml file which is within a users.zip file of somebody's local appdata folder of the user profile:
https://community.fabric.microsoft.com/t5/Desktop/Desktop-Settings/m-p/344631
In my case it was stored in the
C:\Users\MyUserName\Microsoft\Power BI Desktop Store App\User.zip
The zip contains a folder and settings file
UserInterface\Settings.xml
You could inspect this file with for example ProcMon, just to see if an error occurs when you try to update the theme (file handle/in use error maybe?).
There should be an AppTheme Entry with a sDark value. Light would be sLight.
<Entry Type="AppTheme" Value="sDark" />

Many thanks for pointing out to the XML location. I've ended with kust manually altering the value inside to 'sLight' and it did work. Perhaps reinstalling would work, but for quick and dirty soltuion for now that helps.
