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
Up! Up! Up! This is not a fancy feature request. It makes users really annoying and makes report design unprofessional. Just add another formatting option to visuals which allows us to select bar and individual icon visibility.
RE: Optionally remove focus mode box
This makes me insane - this is absolutely a must have for us to provide any of these dashboards to executives. Please remove these stupid boxes.
RE: Optionally remove focus mode box
Hi there,
Is there a way to push this important feature in the roadmap? This is not a nice to have feature It's a must have.
RE: Optionally remove focus mode box
Please make it an option to hide the focus box. Why is this so hard to do? It's so annoying and experience breaking when you're interacting with a beautiful visualization and the annoying bar pops up and breaks immersion. Look in the data stories gallery for plenty of examples of why you should be able to hide/disable it. I want to present a seamless experience to customers and this breaks it.
RE: Optionally remove focus mode box
Necessary improvement!
I hope PowerBI team realizes this is not a 'nice-to-have' rather a must-have.
Not only do the unnecessary boxes affect aesthetics, to a user they are distracting -and even annoying.
Eg dense reports that combine slicers close together has boxes jumping all over the place.
Widespread adoption (and appreciation) of visualisation tools within an organisation strongly relies on an intuitive interface. Personally I'd also be more proud of my work in PowerBI if it would present more sleek and truly like a professional app.
RE: Optionally remove focus mode box
So hey dev team. I heart you all so much.
But fo real.
This NEEDS to happen. At the moment my craftsmanship looks beautiful but when the canvass is dark it only looks nice until you want to use it, at which point the focus bar appears and really detracts from the "slick system" appeal that rivals such as tableau master.
This would take dashboards that look nice in a resting state, to dashboards that look nice in EVERY state. make it happen!
RE: Optionally remove focus mode box
This is causing major issues when a report has multiple slicers close together. Makes it pretty much unusable.
RE: Optionally remove focus mode box
Upvote from me, be great to fix this
RE: Optionally remove focus mode box
Please can this be prioritised higher? My dev team don't want to embed reports in our app since the focus boxes around aesthetic elements like shapes and text boxes make the reports look too unprofessional.
RE: Optionally remove focus mode box
Any news?
If it's not possible to remove them maybe change the colour? When the background is black... those borders are very not appealing.
