I know that in Power BI Desktop we can change the default styles with a json file (see here). But I can't find any way of doing this in the web service. It would be nice if the text of every new report weren't so tiny.
Any idea if/ how this can be accomplished? The only direction I can think of is once the page is loaded, modifying the DOM and including a custom CSS file. But it sure would be nice if Power BI allowed users to save a report's design as a template or something of the sort.
Thanks!

Hi @ethan1701
Yes, you can change the default theme by JSON file on the desktop, and you can publish the new-theme report into service to keep the same view. for the report template,do you mean the pbit file?
if yes, please kindly refer to below info:
- A template file contains only the query definitions, data model and reports, but not the data. So it's very small.
- When opening a pbit file the user can enter parameter values. Then only the data matching these query parameters is loaded.
This is a good read about pbit template files.

Hi @ethan1701, it is correct that you cannot set the theme for your report in the service.
In general, you should avoid doing (other then cosmetic) changes in the service.
Here is an overview of the differences and similarities between Power BI Desktop and the service:
