Every visualization has a 25 unit bar on top with the "Focus Mode" and "More options links. When combined with a Title bar, this uses 50 units of 720 for the total vertical space on a report page. I like having a Title and the menu options but would like them combined.

'Just to update: this is resolved by Microsoft now.

- Go to File/Options and settings/Options/Report settings

- Mark "Use the modern visual header with updated styling options".

The space on top is frustrating, it interfers with other important things like Year selector( MTD etc) and filter selector. When we select them we see the un-used space from overlapping visuals wasted space on top

Please give us this option, unused space is really killing my creative moves.

RE: Combine Title and Menu Bar on all Visualizations

This should really be implemented, because it's really difficult to bring visuals to the top.

RE: Combine Title and Menu Bar on all Visualizations

Cannot add header and trying to make a header with basic shapes or images it does not let you to cover the top of the page.

What Power BI team thinking when they do UI testing?
