Is this really the best solution, @sgiehl? I don't have an alternative right at this moment, but it feels non-standard (best word I could come up with).

Would a full page template specifically just for the no-data screen/tabs that wouldn't have any of these components/widgets in it be a better approach, even if it is potentially more work?

@michalkleiner not sure if that wouldn't be a bit out of scope. In general I think it would make sense to have a simpler layout there. But currently that would mean copying a lot stuff from the dashboard layout to a new simpler layout. I guess to solve that better we would need to restructure the layout. But that could cause other problems if plugins rely on certain layout stuff.

What we could maybe have a some sort of new event that is triggered that can be used to hide the comparison stuff. similar to hiding the date selector. But not sure if that would be much of an improvement.

All good, thanks for the explanation.
An event might be a bit better from the perspective that anything else needing hiding from the no-data screen could also use it, but it's not a dealbreaker for me.

@michalkleiner Had another thought on it and changed that a bit so it contains some more reusable parts...

Touching parts I even didn't know existed (so I learned something) and I think the broadcast property could potentially be handy later on as well.

This looks better from my perspective than the previous show/hide approach 👍
