Presumably, this should be controlled via View> Hide/Show Insets. But there's a question whose answer is not obvious: Which insets do we hide? Some notes?All notes? Different people may answer differently. So I wonder whether an "ultra-minimalist" button format might be a better option. This would give you per-inset-type control over this sort of thing. The idea would be that insets with this "decoration" would appear, say, only as a thin bar, maybe 2px wide. Then you could still open them by clicking on them. Activting and de-activating this would then be as simple as loading or unloading a module that re-defined the decoration for some insets (or adding/commenting out a few lines of local layout).
