Tell me yours?
...Anyway, I created a Userscript for the Chrome/Firefox Stylus Extension that reverts the new dashboard to the old format. This took a lot of tweaking and it's not perfect at all, but if anyone wants it I'll be uploading it soonish now!
A fix for the new Tumblr dashboard! If you don't want the sticky header you can remove the labelled script at the top of the css below /* St
You need to have Stylus installed. So if you don't have it:
Install the Stylus Firefox Addon or the Chrome Extension (You can install Chrome Extensions on Edge as well)
Once it's installed into Firefox/Chrome/Edge you can proceed with adding this style or any other.
To add the style, follow the instructions:
Go to this link: https://userstyles.world/style/11286/old-tumblr-dashboard-july-2023
Click on "install".
Style will open a tag with it and in the left side you'll have a button that says "install style", click there.

If you don't want the sticky header you can remove the labelled script at the top of the css below /* Sticky Header*/
Be sure to check for updates regularly, I'm fixing things as I go! And because everyone keeps asking here's how to support me on Ko-Fi https://ko-fi.com/pixiel !
To update click the Manage button on Stylus and click the check for update button below then click again to install! If you experience any bugs let me know - feel free to edit it yourself as well!
P.S. This userscript works just fine alongside Xkit!

NEW UPDATE as of 27/09/23, 20:52pm BST v7.3
v7.3: Fixed most of tumblrs new changes to the Activity Menu and a few other smaller changes, unfortunately, I can't bring back the reblogged/liked User Icons in the activity menu!
-----
Known issues:
The activity count in the Accounts Menu is blue (it uses the same code as the header buttons notifications) for some reason, still trying to figure out how to make it match the rest of them.
The search bar moves out of place on bigger monitors when not using the sticky header. You can adjust its position yourself under "/*Moves the search bar*/" by changing the "Left" numbers. I can't think of a way around that just yet without adjusting it yourself!
Search bar doesn't appear on some pages (like viewing a post), this is because Tumblr removed the search bar on those pages completely. Unfixable!
Post button disappears on very small monitors! (1 person with this issue so far) Might be hard for me to replicate and fix without messing with regular-size monitors - My recommendation if you are having issues with smaller monitors, is to adjust the labelled numbers (Left, Right, Top: [Value]) for the issue you're having in the code!
Only two columns in Masonry view. May be unfixable, I can't figure out how to add another column in smaller screens. Even the Tampermonkey style only has two columns! Tumblr creates columns based on monitor size, if I try adding another column (because it doesn't exist) it just perpetually loads on screen.
The Account and Settings button move when the menu is open - See number 4 of Solved Issues for solution to this problem! SOLVED
Tumblr has ONCE AGAIN CHANGED THE ACCOUNTS MENU. The menus are now shorter and have less information on them. This is unfortunately permanent. I do not see any way to fix this. Unfixable.
Users' icons and who they've reblogged from disappear - This is 100% something Tumblr themselves broke and not the userstyle, hopefully they'll fix it themselves shortly!
Solved issues: (Update)
Menus need to be manually closed SOLVED! in V.4 and updated in V.5! The menu & icon WILL scroll with you if you have removed the sticky header CSS, however, clicking anywhere on screen will make the Menu disappear still.
DISCLAIMER: If you remove any of the header icons with Ublock the Account or Settings icon will disappear off screen or overlap with other icons. This is just cosmetic and the menus will still close - see option 4 for a solution to this problem!
Masonry view in searches is now fixed!
Removed Xkits new text for xkit users (update)
Added a new guide to make moving the Settings and Accounts buttons easier if you remove icons with Ublock.
Example: /*If there are none icons on the right (of the settings icon), right: 120px;*/
Now you don't have to fiddle around moving the icons yourself, you can just choose the number value that works for you! Ctrl-F Search for Accounts Icon or Settings Icon in the code to find this!
Resized Messenger Chat Box!
NEW UPDATE 16/08/23, 23:55 BST v6.5: Figured out how to reorganise the icons in the header. Let me know if you have any problems with it and make sure to update your Userstyle! Some icons are hidden with Display: Block; you can hide more icons with this method but be aware it may break other features!
Slight Bug: If you resize the window to be very small but not small enough to revert to mobile view it may rearrange itself for no reason at all. I've decided that that is a headache for another day.
Solved issues p2
Brought back SOME of the icons for Tumblrs latest update - Unfortunately, this does not bring back user icons for Reblogged posts! Make sure to yell at Tumblr for removing the icons as well as the horrible dashboard update here!
v6.9.6.9 (I promise this is the last funny number): Fuck Off Buggy The Clown Update + All languages support for the old header design!
v7.0: Fixed the search bar for tumblrs new collections feature, so it looks like the original search bar!
How is it April already? How? I feel like the year started last week and we are starting on the fourth month of the year. This exam season is draining me of all energies. I will take tomorrow as a resting day even though my first exam is on Monday, I will have enough time for a last minute morining review, and I very much need to rest mentally. After that will come the studying for my prehistory exam, and I have yet to make a plan, but I think I will do that once I am done with the exam. I also really want to have at least a couple of days of no studying next week, once I'll schedule my studying it will all be better. I am dreading the moment I'll have to go back to class, but I am again trying to think about on thing at the time. I also feel like at the moment even though I am techinically on spring break studying is robbing me of my reading time. I get half an hour of reading done in the morning as I sip my tea, and in the evenings I am often too tired to even pick the book up. I really want to read because that would help a lot with distracting myself, but I cannot physically do it. I am on the lookout for a new audiobook that will help me a bit, but I haven't found anything yet.
Productivity:
practiced Irish on duolingo
continued reviewing my protohistory notes, and I am now only missing a first reread of the Iron age (my dad has been super kind with helping me reviewing, and I know I will annoy him more in the next couple of weeks)
reviewed what I had highlited in the ppt presentations used during the history of libraries and reading lectures
started to brainstorm things i will have to do to study for my protohistory exam
Starting the day with a yoga class, then having breakfast and heading to the library. My assignment is due in two days and I still have a lot of work to do. || 21.02.2023
Only six more classes and i am done with uni, although not really i still Haave to do my internship and my final thesis, but i am so so so excited and terrified, the end of uni is kinda sneaking up on me.
happy tuesday. i just have an otolaryngology class this morning, now i’ll have brunch, wash up, then study pedia so i can go to the gym in the afternoon and do schoolwork at night.
Found some very pretty flowers growing on the way to the gym lol. Also I just have one exam and then I am going back home for a week!! So excited!
And let me be a reminder to keep all your money and wallets safe, cause somebody stole all my cash from my wallet and I didn't even realize T_T. That was a sad sad day sigh, but what can I do about it now...
I hope you all (and your wallets) are safe and happy right now, and good luck to all the ones giving their exams!
i can feel myself burning out and i am no where near finals season, i still have one more midterm left but trying to stay optimistic that we will remain healthy and energized not let academia wear me down. luckily today because of the snow storm my manager let me take the day off, so i did not need to come into work. i got to do my household errands, a little bit of studying and reading. i thought those "Sunday reset routine" was working for me but i realized i have such limited leisure time on the weekends and i'd like to end my weekend at home just doing something relaxing and leisurely. so i am gonna have my reset admin routine on Thursday evenings. because its when my "school work" is done and on Fridays i resume my work tasks. i'll see of this works better for me
