Hello @LazyUser ,

Pls note the following:

Use custom options to create your own dashboard theme. If you add a background image, we recommend that your image have at least a resolution of 1920x1080. To use an image as a background, upload the image to a public website, copy the URL, and paste it into theImage URL field.

If your report uses a different theme from the dashboard theme, you can control whether the visual retains the current theme, or use the dashboard theme to achieve consistency between visuals across multiple sources. When you pin an icon to a dashboard, to keep the report topic, select Keep Current Theme. The visual in the dashboard preserves the report theme, including transparency settings.

The only time you'll see tile theme options is if you created the report in Power BI Desktop, added areport topic, and then published the report to the Power BI service.

Try re-fixing the tile and selectingUse board theme.

• Dashboard themes cannot be applied to pinned live report pages, iframe icons, SSRS icons, book icons, or images.

• Dashboard topics can be viewed on mobile devices, but creating a dashboard theme can only be done in the Power BI service.

• Custom themes in the dashboard only work with tiles pinned from reports.

Never mind, I was able to save theme after I got my role upgraded from contributor to member.

Hi @LazyUser ,

Pls note the following:

Use the custom options to create your own dashboard theme. If adding a background image, we recommend that your image be at least 1920x1080 resolution. To use an image as a background, upload the image to a public website, copy the URL, and paste it into the Image URL field.

If your report is using a different theme from the dashboard theme, you can control whether the visual retains current theme, or uses the dashboard theme to achieve consistency across visuals from various sources. When pinning a tile to a dashboard, to keep the report theme, select Keep current theme. The visual, on the dashboard, will retain the report theme, including transparency settings.

The only time you'll see Tile Theming options is if you created the report in Power BI Desktop, added a report theme, and then published the report to Power BI service.

Try re-pinning the tile and selecting Use dashboard theme.

• Dashboard themes cannot be applied to pinned live report pages, iframe tiles, SSRS tiles, workbook tiles, or images.

• Dashboard themes can be viewed on mobile devices but creating a dashboard theme can only be done in Power BI service.
