I was annoyed that after the Tumblr update, the persistent header bar took up so much room on the Dashboard so I’ve written a little script that hides the Tumblr header from your Dashboard when you scroll down, and shows it again when you scroll up.

Here is what the final result looks like.

Installation

• Google Chrome
• Firefox

Google Chrome

Note: Windows Users will first have to install the Tampermonkey extension and attempt to follow the Firefox instructions using Tampermonkey instead of Greasemonkey.

Step 2

Navigate to your extensions page chrome://extensions either by typing it in, or going through Menu > Settings > Extensions, or Menu > More tools > Extensions.

Step 3

Drag and drop the downloaded script onto the extensions page.

Step 4

Click add at the following prompt.

Step 5

Success! Navigate to Tumblr to check it action!
