Description
The Hide Widget Header module improves the visual clarity and usability of the Zabbix dashboard by preventing widget headers from appearing in the normal dashboard view. The headers remain hidden until edit mode is activated, ensuring a clean, minimalist, and distraction-free interface during regular use.
This feature is handy for users who prefer an uncluttered workspace. It allows them to focus on the most important data without unnecessary visual elements taking up space. Hiding headers improves the overall aesthetics and readability of dashboards, making them more streamlined and professional.
The module requires no additional configuration, as it is automatically activated when enabled in Zabbix. This makes it a hassle-free solution for users who want an improved dashboard experience without complex settings changes.
Once you install it, you will see an option in the top right corner, „Show header“, which you can tick off to hide the header.
