Hi @SunilSMenon,

If you are trying to add a header, maybe consider using a Markdown element above the chart.

1. For x-axis scale you can set the ticksize using [axisConfig](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/canvas-function-reference.html#axisConfig_fn) provided the value is a number, which it looks like it is.
2. if you are trying to add borders to an individual element this can be accomplished with custom css on each element.
3. which headers are you attempting to color?
4. you may be able to hide the type icons by inspecting the element with webtools and hiding the div.

Thanks,  
Tim
