Kibana: Full screen mode for dashboard

[myth]

Describe the feature:

Currently, I cannot find a way to hide the sidebar completely when viewing the dashboard. In Kibana 4.x, I could scroll past the top bar and have the screen fully covered by the dashboard contents. I find screen "real estate" important with things like dashboards, where I want as much information as possible displayed at once.

This becomes especially annoying when using the dark dashboard theme, which is in stark contrast to the new brightly themed sidebar.

I would like to see an option in the dashboard itself, to hide the sidebar completely when in fullscreen mode, possibly just by listening to resize events and comparing window height/width to screen height/width.

A full screen mode is a feature we are considering adding.

Note that you can get rid of the left sidebar by adding &embed=true to the end of the url when viewing a dashboard (or use the Share Snapshot Link url under the Share tab). The embedded view also hides the search bar, time picker, and doesn't show the panel controls, so may not completely address your needs, however.

Thank you! The embed=true works well!

However, a fullscreen mode would still be nice to be able to quickly toggle between having the top bar to pause autorefresh, selecting time intervals etc and only the widgets.

This is really useful thanks for the tip. Should be added to the documentation if not already done.

embed=true is fine for embedding a static dashboard. However it would be nice to just hide the left navigation and allow this user to still use the time filters above. This allows us to make our own left navigation to get between dashboards.
