Disable/hide visual borders when hovered over, atleast in full screen mode. It makes the UI look pretty untidy.

Back in July, we shipped a completely new visual header that lets you disable per visual some or all the various options and doesn't take up space on the page. You can read the details on our blog: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/power-bi-desktop-july-2018-feature-summary/#visualHeader

RE: Disable/hide visual border on hover
I used the hide feature on a report and it works well in a browser. However, when viewing in the Power BI app on an iPad, I still see an outline where the header would appear, including for buttons. I'm trying to remove the header for bookmark buttons.
RE: Disable/hide visual border on hover
Do those planned customization options include the ability to fully remove the visual header in Report View rather than just making it invisible? The feature added in March to make it invisible in Report View makes it looks nicer but the headers still take up real estate when you hover over it, which limits how your ability to make full use of the canvas (you can't have overlapping slicers, for instance).
RE: Disable/hide visual border on hover
Thanks for the update Amanda. As some people have stated, being able to hide the border needs to be on a per-visual basis, not an all or nothing.
RE: Disable/hide visual border on hover
Consider building a team to address the formatting request versus the data engine. The 1 year turn around is inexcusable and as an org we lose confidence with each passing update.
RE: Disable/hide visual border on hover
Agreed, so annoying with the borders
RE: Disable/hide visual border on hover
"Hide the visual header in reading view" is a step in the right direction, but this needs to be enabled as an individual visual setting or atleast a page setting instead of global.
RE: Disable/hide visual border on hover
Agreed. Especially annoying when i add text boxes that have zero need to be expanded/pinned.
RE: Disable/hide visual border on hover
This will drastically improve the look and feel of the visuals. Make it happen MS. You guys have been great!
RE: Disable/hide visual border on hover
I would argue this complete now with the March release.
In practice, I almost immeadiately has users complain:
What happened to focus mode?
I can’t export data today !
I can’t turn on search in this slicer.
Can we please get a toggle switch for each visualisation and a toggle switch to set the default for the whole report l?
RE: Disable/hide visual border on hover
I agree, this is annoying. Sometimes I would like to place the visuals close to each other and the borders are then overlapping each other.
