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. :)

This is a must. It's been under review since 2014??? It works if you pin the entire page but that's not an option. Come on MS! Make this happen!!!

Absolute requirement. Can't believe it doesn't already work. You've spent so much effort providing ways of stylizing the reports, but if any user has a dark theme (with light text) then the dashboards won't work.

It is now May 11, 2016 = Please tell us "why" the recent contest and even this Power BI Blog articles "continue to showcase vivid colors and dark theming", yet we can "not" surface these in the Power BI dashboards - ONLY reports? In addition, Windows 8.1 and now Windows 10 - and many other Microsoft products like Visual Studio - continue to offer "dark themed backgrounds and vivid color" options!

I am not saying to "eliminate white backgrounds and pastel colors" but WHEN will get "choice" as Microsoft likes to tell us we have?

Please provide an update on this ticket. We are past Q1 and fast approaching Q3-2016 - for a ticket raised and supposedly should have been fixed in 2015....

Definitely annoying to format a report with coloured background and white text then lose most of the relevant info when pushed to dashboard
