    Hi, Anonymous 

    It looks like the update from the product team may have affected the default theme settings for users who didn't save the theme. It's really inconvenient, especially when you're happy with the previous color.

    To avoid encountering similar issues in the future, you may want to consider creating and saving a custom topic, as described in other responses. That way, even if there's an update, your preferred settings won't be affected.

Hi Anonymous - Go to View > Themes in Power BI Desktop, and reapply your custom theme (if you have it saved). You can also upload a custom JSON theme file if you previously created one.Make sure you are using the latest version of Power BI Desktop, as any minor updates released by Microsoft may address known issues.

Keeping your themes in a JSON file format and storing it safely can prevent similar issues in the future, as it will allow you to reapply your custom theme quickly if Power BI updates affect the appearance of your visuals.
