I'd love to see this implemented. We are using backgrounds and themes to produce some branded reports, but the transition from dashboard to report is jarring, because of the sudden change of style. Being able to add a background to a PowerBI report would create a seamless transition between the two and allow customisation away from the out of the box styles.
Almost 3 years under review? Could you perhaps elaborate on the key considerations which have led to a 35-month+ decision cycle?
This is disheartening and yet another very, very basic omission. These are all stacking up and slowly eroding the usability of the application.
I have a report with a dark background and light text, and pinning the visuals onto a white dashboard means that the data is not visible. So I now have to either redesign the colour scheme (which goes against our company branding - and also obviates the time I've spent to date getting it on-brand) or just pin as a live page, which isn't really favourable as I just want headline figures and not the slicers et al.
So many silly little things (add 'no duration data type' to this list) missing that make me look bad and consequently lead to the board questioning the validity of this tool if it fails to handle such basic requirements as 'dashboard without a white background'.
Very, very poor show. It's all well and good adding extensive functionality with each release, but it's these elementary inclusions that are stark in their absence - and could lead to being dealbreakers.
Just seen your fantastic webinar on how to design visually stunning reports / dashboards in Power BI - but it is a waste of time as I can't change any of the colours on the dashboard itself - poor show Microsoft 😞
