About This Feature
Overview
Theme is a dashboard styling feature in WPS for Windows. It helps you unify dashboard colors, background images, and the overall visual appearance.
Core tasks include:
- Switch dashboard themes: choose a preset theme style for the current dashboard.
- Change theme colors: select a different color scheme or follow the theme background.
- Change theme images: choose a preset background image.
- Use a custom theme image: upload a JPG or PNG image as the dashboard background, up to 20 MB.
This feature is useful for business dashboards, presentation-ready views, and team-wide visual consistency. It helps reduce repeated style adjustments and keeps dashboard components visually consistent. A practical advantage is that theme, color, image, and custom image options are grouped in one panel for faster editing.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Lets you switch preset dashboard themes, change colors, choose preset images, and upload a custom background image. | Power BI supports dashboard themes, custom colors, and JSON theme uploads for dashboards. | Looker Studio supports report themes, theme customization, and theme extraction from an image. | Notion mainly offers page icons, cover images, and page styling rather than a comparable dashboard theme panel. | Adobe Express applies brand colors and fonts to pages and designs, with a stronger focus on branded content than data dashboard theming. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: theme, color, image, and custom image options are available in one panel for direct dashboard appearance changes. | Compared with WPS: it focuses more on color themes and JSON-based configuration, and background images are handled through image URLs. | 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: it is closer to page cover and content styling, without a comparable dashboard theme switching workflow. | Compared with WPS: it is better aligned with branded design pages and assets, not dashboard theme switching as a primary workflow. |

Overall Conclusion
WPS Theme is well suited to users who want to adjust dashboard appearance directly while editing. Microsoft and Google provide broader theme systems for analytics platforms, while Notion and Adobe are closer to page styling and brand presentation workflows.
