CompletedAdjustable line thickness in Line Charts and in Line and Column Charts

In some charts that contain multiple lines, some lines are more important than others.
I think it would be good to make these important lines stand out more by being able to make them slightly thicker than the other lines.
Currently you can just make the other less important lines a neutral colour and the important line a prominent colour, but I think my idea holds some value.

With this update of the Power BI Desktop, you can now control line thickness and join types: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/power-bi-desktop-february-feature-summary/#lineThickness If you want more control over line styles, please open a new idea with your specific request so we can prioritize them appropriately.

In addition, I would like to have the ability to thicken the border line around all objects that borders can be put on.

The new update allows you to adjust the thickness of all lines, which is an improvement. I think the next step should be the option to allow individual lines in the same visual to be a different thickness

also, remove the line entirely for stacked area charts

Hi Everyone,
In "Line and stacked column chart", has the feature of formatting lines is released?
I have october 2016 version of PowerBI with me.

This would be especially useful for the mobile app (mine is on iphone) where the line is far too thick

As a follow up to formatting lines, it would also be helpful to have the ability to format the line's: thickness, style (dotted, dashed, etc.), colour, data labels (circles, squares, etc.).
Use case: In the "Line and Stacked Column" chart, this feature can be used to create a very common requirement: show a measure that can be both positive and negative (e.g., P&L, portfolio returns) by category (e.g., product, portfolio manager, strategy) as a stacked bar chart over time (e.g., month) and add the same measure as Line values to show the net value of the measure on the same graph. You could then hide the line and show the data label (e.g., diamond) which would then be displayed on the stacked bars.
