I want my custom Report Theme to be applied to all reports created by all users in the Power BI Service. So that our Reports/Dashboards have a look and feel that is consistent and that matches our company branding.

I even found that when I Publish from Desktop to Service with a custom Report Theme ... then create a new Report in the Service based on the Dataset I Published ... it does not apply the Report Theme from the .PBIX file that I had Published.

We generate more reports in the service than in desktop, so it would be great if we could keep a consistent "look and feel".

I had the same issue and now wanting to update a theme is causing more issues without a way to update themes for reports created in PowerBI service.

I would also like to see report themes expanded to allow placement of custom graphics and text, such as corporate logos or identifying footnotes, on the report surface so they are in a consistent location every time a new report is created. This is similar to PowerPoint templates, which have supported this for many years.

'+1
I don't want to have to import the theme in every report that I already created and published!

This would be very handy especially being able to set a default theme in the service
