Hi there
I'm using a custom theme and I don't know how to deactivate the blank space at the bottom of the page. Not sure what it is called and hope you guys can tell me what's the trick to deactivate it
( sensitive data, that's why I covered it )
The problem is that line that literally marks the end of my dashboard and I don't know what's the rest , I just want to get rid of it .
If I change the theme to a normal one that line becomes dots.

Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Anonymous
That empty space is just there to fill the page. A report size is standard 16:9 size (because most computers have that ratio).
So on your screen in Power BI desktop it currently shows it small but in 16:9 because of your screen size and the windows you have open.
If you close or minimize any panes (f.e. the visualisations menu or the field menu) this size will become smaller).
When you publish the report this will not be seen because people will see it in normal 16:9 size.
You could change the view in the view menu (Page view), but you wil probably not see the entire report then.
Off course if you want to change the page size you can do this in the format menu. However I would not recommend it if your viewers use standard pc screens.
Best regards,

Oh yes, you're right
I've been working on a different screen and I panicked when I've seen that , thinking I've messed it up .
On any other device it shows normal
Thank you @jeroendekk
