Provide "infinite canvas" view (#65)
It can be distracting to have the canvas border around my diagram all the time. Could you provide a render view in which that border is hidden? (Similar to "print layout" vs "normal layout" toggle in MS Word) You wouldn't have to change any functionality, I think, just use a background gradient without rendering the border and the diagram background color. This would give the illusion of having an "infinite canvas," which is nice sometimes.

It is possible to turn off this canvas border.
Just uncheck these options from menu:
Diagram/Bounds/Show Borders
Diagram/Bounds/Show Paper
It seems that this feature is not very popular :) I will consider the change of the default setting. Maybe I can create a poll on this site and so find out which setting is more popular.

I have it also turned of by default (expand in all directions), but I find it useful with printing to easily see the borders.

OK, I changed the default setting :)
But it will be applied only for new users or for "clear" installation.

By the way, I just noticed that Jesper posted the same request in the General forum a while back.
"- The white background that is showning the actual usage space by the diagram is for me a bit irritating, I think this should be removed or possible to turn off in options."
I think he and I both want more than just the two background colors to be the same - we want the black border & shadow to be gone.
