Dotted Border on blank desk top?

[Bwidener]

 Does anyone know how to remove this, I went through every option on view?

Thanks a bunch

Hi @Bwidener,

That's the new feature of the July release 2018. Please refer to power-bi-desktop-july-2018-feature-summary/#wallpaper.

>>>You’ll notice that when the page background has a transparency higher than 50%, we’ll add a grey dotted line in editing mode to help you see where the edge of your page is.

Best Regards,

Dale

@v-jiascu-msft  on the left and right of my PBI desktop page a lot of real estate is unusable because i just cannot get it removed to utilize the entire realestate of the page. 
I am using the default 16:9.

see on the left and right in green

Hi @Bwidener,

The dotted border shows where the report page ends.

The new update enables you to change the wallpaper color and having white-on-white (page and wallpaper color) wouldn't show where the page ends and wallpaper begins.

I did find a workaround though, to get the dotted line from showing (still shows a slight shadow to distinguish between page and wallpaper):

Set the color of both Page Background and Wallpaper to white and then set the background transparency under 50% - that did the trick for me. Play around with it and tell me if you find any other way 🙂
