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

Whenever I click on a visual, it shows the outline. It looks very unprofessional on a dashboard. Please consider adding a feature to disable outlines when not in edit mode. Thank you.

RE: Optionally remove focus mode box

This should be an optional configuration allowing the report designer to decide whether to have the bounding box or not on each visualisation. It should also allow for the removal of the transparency effect on visualisations as well when given focus.

This is an extremely important issue when making some intricate and design focused reports as it distracts from the user experience.

Especially, as the same UX effects inconceivably exist around added image and text visuals.

Yes! Even recently one of client also not liking it, there has to be some option to enable and disable it such as I am showing today date on dashboard which not required any focus mode, but focus mode still avaialble which not good. Please work on it and provide some option to enable and disable it. Thank you.

I think the focus mode in text boxes / images / shapes is useless and confuses the display
