Live structural colors and Power BI 2.152 support

Live Structural Colors

A new Structural section in the color picker lets you tap into Power BI's built-in semantic colors — Foreground, Background, Good, Bad, Neutral, Table Accent, Hyperlink, and more. Unlike picking a hex, these stay linked: change a structural color once at the top of your theme and every visual that references it updates automatically inside Power BI. Your semantic design decisions finally survive export.

Power BI Schema 2.152

Updated to the latest March 2026 Power BI theme schema. Themes now target the newest fill, conditional color, and rich-text color options across every visual, keeping your exports fully compatible with the current Power BI Desktop and Service.

v4.1
February 2026

Smart icons, auto-save, and studio polish

Smart Icons in Theme Studio

Use any of 1,500+ Lucide icons directly in your theme visuals. The new ImageControl integration lets you pick icons that automatically inherit your theme colors — no more downloading and uploading SVGs. Icons stay crisp at any size and update instantly when you change your palette.

Auto-Save & Studio UX

Your theme now saves automatically as you work — no more lost changes. The AI assistant button has been redesigned for quicker access, and visual feedback throughout the studio makes it clearer when changes are applied.

Icons Page Redesign

The icons browser has been rebuilt with a cleaner layout, improved search, and proper dark mode support. Icon colors now sync with your system theme automatically, so dark mode users see icons that actually match their environment.

Brand Color Accuracy

Fixed an issue where brand and accent colors were shifted from the exact hex value you entered. New @brand-exact and @accent-exact tokens ensure your chosen colors are preserved precisely where it matters.

Lifetime Pro Option

Prefer a one-time purchase? Pro is now available as a $124 lifetime license — full access forever, no subscription required.

AI Theme Assistant and dark mode

AI Theme Assistant

Create themes using natural language. Describe your brand, style preferences, or mood — the AI builds a complete theme in seconds. Powered by Claude, the assistant understands color theory, accessibility, and Power BI best practices to generate production-ready themes.

Dark Mode

Full dark mode support across the entire app. Automatically follows your system preferences, or set it manually. The theme studio, icons page, and all settings now work beautifully in both light and dark modes.

Undo/Redo

Never lose your work again. Full undo/redo support in the theme studio with keyboard shortcuts (Cmd+Z / Cmd+Shift+Z). Every change is tracked so you can experiment freely.

Redesigned Studio

The theme studio has been completely rebuilt with a more compact, efficient layout. Collapsible sidebar saves screen space, new pill-style controls for faster adjustments, and minimal accordions keep everything accessible without clutter.

Theme Duplication

Copy themes to different workspaces or create variants with the new duplication picker. Choose exactly where your duplicated theme should live.

Icons Page Refresh

The icons browser has been modernized with better search, filtering, and organization. Faster loading and a cleaner interface for browsing 1,500+ icons.

Power BI Schema 2.149

Updated to the latest Power BI theme schema, ensuring compatibility with all current Power BI features and visual types.

v3.2.0
September 2025

Free tier, modern UI, and custom branding

Streamlined Studio Interface

The theme studio has been completely redesigned with a modern, single-panel interface that puts everything at your fingertips. Style presets now appear in the breadcrumb navigation for faster access, and visual selection uses Power BI-style icons instead of dropdowns, making the experience more intuitive and familiar for Power BI users.

Free Tier & Subscription Model

Power UI is now accessible to everyone with our new free tier. Try the full studio experience, create themes, and save your work without any upfront cost. When you're ready to export and use your themes in Power BI, simply upgrade to Pro. Lifetime license holders maintain full access forever – your investment is protected.

Custom Brand & Neutral Colors

By popular demand, you can now add your own custom brand colors and neutral palettes. Simply input your hex code and Power UI will generate complete, harmonious color palettes based on your specifications. Custom neutral palettes give you full control over grays and backgrounds, ensuring your reports perfectly match your organization's visual guidelines.

Enhanced Resources

We've expanded our resource library with stunning high-quality background images that can be applied to page wallpapers or report canvases directly from the studio. The icon library now includes a comprehensive collection of flag icons, perfect for international dashboards and global reporting.

Style Preset Flexibility

Built-in style presets are protected to ensure consistency, but you can now customize the default style variant to match your needs. While other presets remain locked to receive automatic improvements, the default variant gives you complete control to set your own baseline. This balance ensures a stable foundation while maintaining the flexibility you need for custom designs.

Bug Fixes

Fixed an issue where theme variants could become duplicated under certain conditions, improving overall stability and theme management.

v3.1.0
August 2025

Icons, backgrounds, and studio polish

Icon Management

Icons are now fully integrated into the theme studio. You can add and customize icons directly within the interface, download them for use in your projects, and access our new comprehensive flag icon collection for international projects. We've also added dynamic dot icons that work perfectly for badges and table indicators.

Studio Experience

The studio now supports multiple example reports, allowing you to test your themes across different layouts instantly. We've added a curated collection of professional background images and visual report shell placeholders with dynamic image support. Navigation is now simpler with our consolidated sidebar that brings foundations, icons, and tools together.

Theme Customization

Brand colors now use standard Tailwind palettes for consistency across projects. The color token layout has been improved to clearly separate brand and state tokens. You can now control border radius values theme-wide with sensible defaults, and neutral colors use standard Tailwind gray palettes. Sharing themes is easier than ever with copy-paste JSON functionality.

Quality Improvements

Essential theme variants are now protected from accidental deletion. We've streamlined billing with automatic invoice creation and fixed several issues including button border display when icons are enabled, and improved both dashboard and base theme creation workflows.

Import and edit your existing themes, use focus mode to perfect specific chart types, and enjoy auto-save functionality with visual change indicators. Export professional JSON files with built-in validation to ensure compatibility.

Design System

A token-based color system now supports both light and dark modes seamlessly. Choose from pre-built professional color palettes or Azure-inspired neutral options. Global typography controls ensure consistent text styling across your entire report, while new canvas and layout customization options give you complete control over the visual structure.

Collaboration

Share themes within your organization or publish them to the public marketplace for community use. The new team member management portal makes it easy to control access, and flexible visibility controls let you keep themes private, share with your organization, or make them public.

Access over 1,400 Lucide icons with dynamic color support that matches your theme. Export icons in bulk via CSV for easy Power BI import. Interactive example reports help showcase your themes in action, and downloadable PBIX templates provide quick starting points for new projects.

Bug Fixes & Improvements

We fixed several UI issues to improve stability. The border radius picker now uses integer pixel values for better Power BI compatibility, and theme colors display consistently in the color picker. Error handling for Power BI embed tokens has been improved, preview loading is more reliable with proper timeout handling, and the border radius preview visualization has been corrected.
