    Give users the ability to set a theme (either an out-of-the-box or custom theme) as their default for all reports created in Power BI Desktop.

    *** Original idea text below:

    A dedicated place to set defaults for all Power Bi visuals. If I always want my titles to be 15pt font, and my general font to be 12 pt, I currently have to set on each visual.

    I've consolidated a few Ideas into this one and updated the text . We've added the ability to set default font sizes etc., and provided some controls to import and export your custom themes. This idea would let you set one of those themes as the new default for all future reports.

    Please enable the ability to set, create, modify common formatting globally or for all controls on a tab, or group of controls on a tab, or group of tabs. This would dramatically reduce the amount of time it currently takes to set formatting attributes using the visualizations interface

    There is an incompatibility problem when using Segoe UI Light after exporting a report to pdf and when editing the file using Adobe Acrobat.

    This is a MUST, it should be available not only at the current menu, but also in the ribbon as any Microsoft program, something that you can put on the quick access tool bar.

    RE: Set default theme

    Totally agree. I had customers specifically stating they want a certain size and font.
    Changing each visual, several times ( change for the title, change for the data labels, change..etc), just shouldn't happen in Microsoft.

    RE: Set default theme

    The September 2019 release we now use for on-premise changed to a default font that looks great on the web, but leaves the client side of the report virtually unreadable. Please tell me there is a way to change this.

    RE: Set default theme

    We have a company branding with different fonts and colours. Would be great to be able to define these before building reports. Lots of time involved in this. Also being able to select RGB colours would be great

    Hard to believe this isn't a thing yet.
