By Popular Demand: Dark mode is now available in Power BI Desktop!

We are excited to announce a new feature in Power BI Desktop that allows you to choose from a variety of themes, including the most requested Dark Mode! Whether you’re working late into the night or simply prefer a darker interface, Dark Mode provides a sleek, modern look that reduces eye strain and enhances focus.

Now, you can personalize your data visualization experience to match your preferences and working environment.
