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.

100% and totally agree this bars creating a huge amount of distractions in returns of usability benefits of the embedded functionality with every charts. i would suggest that you guys find some other way to inject those functionalities ( Move them somewhere else, give a choice in the charts properties to make bars inadvisable, have a small arrow to show them instead making them showing up on the hover event of the chart) Just keep the charts clean and do what they are designed visualize.

Looking forward to see your action sooner in the new updates to come.

Cheers

Agree 100%, or make the menu bar optional. Just had a client request this functionality in a compete scenario.

So much wasted screen space!

RE: Combine Title and Menu Bar on all Visualizations

This is a huge issue for me as well. When i am trying to create a page with a ton of filters, it just doesn't look nice because of these bars and the fact you need to lay the filters down one side of the page like a deck of cards - but once clicked, the header bards come back.

RE: Combine Title and Menu Bar on all Visualizations

Please make this happen! From a design standpoint this makes a lot of reports look weird...(without juggling visuals, or creating custom background pictures) Come on Microsoft...this should be basic functions for visuals...or at least for the Image box.

RE: Combine Title and Menu Bar on all Visualizations

Please add this :) it will allow us to create some great looking reports with the native functionality rather than creating a detailed background image which is much harder to maintain.

RE: Combine Title and Menu Bar on all Visualizations

This would make slicers far more visually appealing to use in reports. Would love to see this implemented

RE: Combine Title and Menu Bar on all Visualizations

The option to remove/hide the "Focus Mode" is very important to me as well. Especially, for slicers.

RE: Combine Title and Menu Bar on all Visualizations

Even just the ability to hide them on the visualization would help. I often have a logo, title, a few slicers, and then some charts. Only the charts need this bar, on the others it really is a waste of space.
