How sexy the data looks is sometimes more important than how accurate it is!

I love a light grey/dark grey colour scheme as much as the next person, but it be great to be able to brand the dashboard with the organisation colours/background watermark/logos etc. Maybe offer an option to modify the default CSS used - similar to how blogging sites like blogger allow you to change your page layouts/colours with a simple admin gui or completely change it by rewriting the CSS

Hey everyone - I'm excited to share that we shipped dashboard theming this week: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/announcing-dashboard-theming-in-the-power-bi-service/. Give it a try and let us know if you have any feedback! Well, with Power BI, not only keep your data accurate but you can also now make it look - as Jakub originally stated in this idea - sexy. :)

Does this also allow us to change the font? I have just spent about an hour changing and standardizing the fonts in the report and when I pin it to a dashboard, some changed to the new font and some stayed at the default font. Do I have to go and now change everything back to default? I hate that font! Thanks :)

Scott, I am not sure if we'll call the feature Preview or not. I think it could be GA on day one, but these decisions are made based on the state of completeness of the capability at the end.

If you are familiar with the theme for reports, you will find dashboard theme a close keen. Our goal is to allow you to make dashboards look very different than the standard Power BI look that dominated since we launched.

Expect to gain significant control on colors, backgrounds, spacing, transparencies and more.

Thank you very much Amir, that update means the world coming from you and is sincerely appreciated. Will this be another "preview step" or a GA release? Lastly, we like many others in the Power BI Gallery, have created clever workarounds to add "incredible color tricks", so I only request for some "planning information" as soon as it can be available to assist us, and our customers, to get from where we are today to what may be coming in the Spring (March 20th to June 21st timeframe - beginning in 38 days according to Bing).

The feature is under development and we hope to deliver it this spring.

Thank you very much Nikhil for the update, but considering it is now Feb 9, 2018 and the last update was on March 6, 2017 - 11 months and 5 days ago - do you think that, in the spirit of Microsoft's desire to be transparent and focused on user needs, we could have a bit more definitive "timeframe" than "stay tuned"?

I humbly submit that we have been "staying tuned" for over 11 months now!
