We have a nice board view currently with three columns (well, it’s two, but the “no assigned” column is useful here). The problem is that 25% of the board is taken up by the “+ New” button. We’d like to be able to hide that.

Is this already possible?

I think it could even be kept if really needed but moved above the board into the header

Does this mean that you would want the existing columns to be wider?  
Or do you just want to hide an unnecessary column?

Yeah I want the existing columns to be wider — especially since they are often nearly wide enough to work in single-line mode, but just a bit too cramped because so much space is lost to the “+ New” button, which takes up a full column width.
