The image in the kanboard’s website shows a screenshot where the task elements are absent of assignee names (and the assignee management button).

How could I have my Kanboard look like that?

i’d really appreciate a response. Even a “those images are outdated and not representative of kanboard” would be nice.

Hi, for me it’s difficult to understand your desire.

 ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/kanboard1/original/2X/0/06bba08c530062f537de5f3f63915f8ee9d2f8e2.png)  
simply shows Assignees without selected Avatar image in their user Profile.  
And what “assignee management button” are you talking about?

I’ve found a workaround.

Using the plugin **“BoardCustomizer”** , under **“My Profile”** then **“My display settings”** , disable **“Card: hide owner name”**.

But I assume there’s a way to hide the assignee name that doesn’t involve plugins.

And about the button, it seems I was mistaken, so forget that.

I would simply say no.

Wait. You could try with a custom stylesheet, at _Settings \> Application settings_.

```css
span.task-board-assignee {
  visibility: hidden;
}

```

No warranty regarding any potential side effects.

Thanks for this! I was trying to do something similar, and your post pointed me in the right direction.

Here’s the CSS for hiding the assignee from the collapsed board view:

```css
.task-board-collapsed {
  font-size: 0;
}

.task-board-collapsed a {
  font-size: 0.9rem;
}

.task-board-collapsed span[title] {
  display: none;
}

```
