Disable/hide visual border on hover

[vanessa]

Is there a way to disable/hide the visual borders which show up when you hover over a visual?

See screenshot below:

Hi @vanessa,

Based on my research, there is no OOTB feature for us to hide visual borders when hovering on it. You can vote this same idea item: Disable/hide visual border on hover.

Thanks for doing this research! We like to bring our dashboards to client meetings and having the bounding box around each visual breaks focus easily and significantly adds to the noise of the presentation getting in the way of the insights of what is being presented. I recommend the developers provide a read-only view mode to allow this to turn off. If looking to improve legibility, having a full screen mode and ability to change the user interface background color would be amazing. We like to have a base of either all black or all white to enhance the data visualizations so in both cases the light grey UI of Power BI Desktop competes for attention. I have some other notes on the user experience while editing but will hold those comments if there is interest. 

Thanks,

Not any way that I know of. You can sort of do it if you were to place a 100% transparent rectangle over both of those visuals and go to View and bring the rectangle to the front, then there would be no way for the user to hover over the "Dashboard" and have it be "selectable" essentially because the rectangle is in front of it.

But this was just an example. But this wont work for those visuals which are interactive/clickable.

These borders make the UI look pretty bad.

If you use Publish to Web, you do not get those borders because you can't pin anything. You might try giving someone Read-only access to the dashboard/report and see if you get those borders. If they cannot pin, they may not get them.

I tried that as well. But the borders are still visible with the pin icon being disabled in this case.
