i don't think there is a way, except:
- creating a plugin which registers a hack and trys to manipulate this
- creating a plugin which adds some styles which will hide this
- change kibana source code

Can i ask what is the use case for this ? would dashboard in full screen mode solve it ?
when it comes to modifying kibana, i think you'll just have to dig in the source code on your own.
the navigation is in the `src/ui/public/chrome/directives/global_nav.js`
and the plugins documentation is here: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/plugin-development.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/plugin-development.html)
