Hide widget header
This module prevents widget headers from being displayed when dashboards are not in edit mode, improving visual clarity and user experience. This feature streamlines dashboard presentation by reducing visual clutter, allowing users to focus on critical monitoring data without distraction.
Requirements
Supported Zabbix versions
6.0 – 7.4
Min. supported PHP version
7.4
Key features
Dashboards on a wall show only the data, and stay fully editable:
• Headers gone in view mode – widgets marked hidden-header lose the whole bar, even under the mouse
• Back while editing – switch to edit mode and every header returns; move, resize, configure as usual
• Only where you asked – applies to widgets with “Show header” off, everything else looks exactly as before
• Nothing to configure – install, enable, done; a stylesheet only, so disabling it restores Zabbix
• Every dashboard, every user – all 25 Zabbix display languages, HA ready
How it looks in practice
The same tile twice: without the module Zabbix still draws the header bar and shows it on hover; with the module the header is gone while the dashboard is viewed – even under the mouse – and comes back the moment you switch to edit mode.
It applies only to widgets already marked hidden-header, so nothing else changes. Install, enable, done – the steps are in the product wiki.

FAQ
A running Zabbix installation – the supported Zabbix versions and the minimum PHP version are listed in the Requirements section of each product page. The widget installs on the Zabbix frontend server as a standard deb/rpm package from repo.initmax.com, so you need root access to that server. No special hardware is required.
Updates are delivered through your package manager like any other system package – apt upgrade / dnf update / zypper update. The FREE edition updates from the public repo.initmax.com repository; the PRO edition uses the repository token issued in the customer portal. Thanks to the lifetime license there are no renewal fees.
Yes. Hide widget header is FREE (AGPLv3) with no PRO edition and no licence token: install it from repo.initmax.com or the initMAX Portal and use it on any number of Zabbix frontends.
Only widgets you have already marked as hidden-header (the “Show header” checkbox in the widget configuration is off). Zabbix normally still reserves the bar and shows it on hover; the module hides it completely while the dashboard is viewed. Switch the dashboard to edit mode and every header is back – or tick “Show header” on the widget again. Disabling the module in Administration – General – Modules restores the standard Zabbix behaviour immediately.
