Power BI themes: Deep dive into visual styling

Custom themes are one of the most efficient productivity features in Power BI if you use them wisely. Contrary to the common understanding, they are not just good for setting colors. In fact, you can actually control almost every property of every Power BI element with a custom theme.

How does the PNG scale as you change the size of your PBI page when you need more room for more visualizations?

There are actually three ways how the image is scaled in Power BI. When you select the whole page in Power BI and in the page background you will find a setting called The Image Fit. There you can choose between Normal, Fit or Fill.

Which color picker to use?

We recommend Paint.net which is a free and easy-to-use tool.

Prefer written step-by-step instructions?
