| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Supports switching preset dashboard themes, theme colors, preset images, and local custom background images inside a dashboard. | Power BI supports dashboard themes with built-in themes, custom colors, background images by URL, and JSON theme files. | Looker Studio supports report-wide themes for charts, tables, backgrounds, and text, and can extract a theme from an image. | Notion supports page icons and cover images for page appearance customization, but it is not a dashboard theme system for data views. | Adobe Express supports applying brand colors and fonts to pages, images, and illustrations, but it is oriented to branded design rather than dashboard theming. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: the Theme entry is available directly in the dashboard view, and WPS combines preset themes, color changes, preset images, and local image upload in one panel. | Compared with WPS: Power BI custom background images rely on a public image URL or JSON theme workflow. | Compared with WPS: themes apply to the whole report, and official guidance says different pages in one report cannot use different themes. | Compared with WPS: customization focuses on page covers and icons instead of a dashboard-level theme panel for data components. | Compared with WPS: Adobe Express focuses on brand styling across design pages instead of a dashboard-centered data view. |

Overall Conclusion
WPS Theme is well suited to users who want to adjust dashboard appearance quickly inside the dashboard view on macOS.
