Provide option to remove the focus mode border. This has the effect of messing up the experience of the report in most cases. If I want to allow focus mode on a detailed chart, then I can enable it. But in most cases it is extra UI baggage

We provided the ability to turn off the visual header box in the March 2018 release! This will hide the focus mode icon across your visuals. https://powerbi.microsoft.com/es-es/blog/power-bi-desktop-march-2018-feature-summary/#visualHeader

RE: Optionally remove focus mode box

At minimum, please include an option to disable focus mode at the report level. At best, include an option to have it enabled/disabled at report level, page level, and individual visualizaion level.

Please provide us a way to disable Focus mode in Power BI embedded ASAP !
Focus mode button is very ugly and not necessary in many cases.
Thank you in advance.

RE: Optionally remove focus mode box

Just completed a dashboard and had a person who knew nothing about Power BI do some testing. My eyes bled watching the person test cause every time he would click on a chart and the dreaded title bar would show up completing spoiling the experience and obscuring stuff above it. Now I need to completely re-think and re-design my pixel-perfect dashboard :(.
Please take care of this quickly.

RE: Optionally remove focus mode box

Especially when making dynamic text cards on the web, focus is not needed and is confusing to the user

RE: Optionally remove focus mode box

Please add this feature, the focus mode bar/caption on objects destroys the visual experience in certain cases.

RE: Optionally remove focus mode box

When you have slicers next to each other, the border can prevent you from easily selecting from an adjacent slicer. The option to turn off borders for certain visuals is an absolute must!
