When you select the option to disable the visual header for individual visuals, some icons still remain visible when viewing the report.
I understand that there is an option to disable visual headers in reading mode in the report, but I want some enabled and others disabled e.g for slicers.
I also understand that you can individually select header icons for each visual. Again this is not workable when you have to click 10x to remove all icons for every visual.
It would be more productive if you could use the existing option on each visual to disable the visual header and ensure that no icons appear when viewing that report in the power bi service.

RE: Disable visual header should disable all header icons

How many votes does this need? It seems like a no brainer to me, the UX would be massively improved with this change.

Any solution around this?

RE: Disable visual header should disable all header icons

100% agree. It's so annoying and a complete disservice to the user experience. These icons often overlap the top of our visuals, and crowd out the information we want people to see. In addition to allowing designers to turn them off in each visual with one button, please consider making the icons smaller and adding some space between the top of the visual (e.g., column headers) and the icons.

RE: Disable visual header should disable all header icons

Agree this is a real pain when you want your reports to look clean and not have things popping up unnecessarily when hovering a visual.It would be a vast improvement just getting a toggle on the new visualisations pane against "Icons" which switches all to off or on in one go. Pretty frequently I want all off bar 1 or 2 but have to go through toggling every individual icon.
