It looks like it’s only a few lines of css to hide the header. You can use something like Stylus to customize the css on whatever browser you want.
app-header, app-toolbar {
display: none;
}
ha-app-layout#layout #contentContainer {
padding-top: 0px !important;
}
May also need to adjust the height of hui-view, hui-panel-view, or hui-masonry-view if you use background images or if your cards aren’t filling the entire space.
It really sucks to to see this go. I’ll add my thanks for the work you put in to this.
On a related note…
Besides shrinking the header and eliminating extraneous fluff the only other things I use CH for is to show only certain tabs based on the user logged in and for my user I use it to hide tabs based on a boolean I set for testing and setup of those other users tabs.
I guess since CH was so convenient for that I haven’t kept up on built-in Lovelace capabilities.
So the question is - is there way to get that same functionality (users only seeing certain tabs) built-in to lovelace?
I’m assuming from the comment above about the ability to hide tabs dynamically that that isn’t possible right now without CH?
Hi, just want to confirm on the removal steps. I installed the CH from the HACS and I’m not using ui-lovelace.yaml and the CH settings was done using the custom header UI. How I do delete the CH config then?
Delete the CH config from ui-lovelace.yaml (and any other views).
@mayker, thank you for your great work on the CH. Hopefully in future, it will be part of the core component of HA.
Thanks.
That’s too bad. I rely on CH to control which Lovelace pages my kid’s ipad displays in the application,m based on the login. Anyone know if there’s another way to do this without CH?
@KCYeoh top right button, hit edit dashboard, top right button again, hit raw config editor, find the custom_header: portion and delete it.
@Juliean_Galak @finity There is a built in way of hiding tabs based on user:
Also at the top of that page in the dashboards section, it explains how to make an entire dashboard that’s only available to admin users. require_admin
Thank you for your work in keeping this going this long. Could you by chance list which features are becoming standard in HA so people can decide next steps? (Your post mentions some features becoming obsolete.) Is there another way to hide the header in a dashboard?
The features I mention that are obsolete you can see above, hiding tabs/dashboards based on user, another one would be the built in method of hiding the sidebar. There are currently no other ways to hide the header or have a kiosk mode, though I’m sure someone will make something to replace those features.
I cannot speak to what might be coming in HA’s future, I can suggest things and make PRs, but they may or may not make it into HA.
As others have mentioned, CH seems to be working for them in 0.116. If that works for you too then continue to use it until such time that it breaks (or remain on 0.115x or 0.116) and wait until someone makes a replacement for the feature you’re looking for, or just don’t update HA at all until that happens.
@mayker Thank you for all of your work. It is truly appreciated. Now I’m gonna go curl up in a ball and cry.
I was never a big fan of custom header… because in my opionion most of it’s feature should be in HA many versions ago 
I wait for them to show up natively too…
Good luck on other projects!
indeed, this is the only thing i use :
custom_header:
hide_header: true
if someone can post an alternative 
That’s all I need too…
That is very sad 
But anyways: Thank you very much for the effort mayker! I used it since the beginning of “Custom Compact Header” and I can’t imagine how much work it must have been, maintaining that beast!
I hope there will be a native solution soon - I really don’t like the original header:
too bad that WTH wasnt implemented
sad to hear that. @mayker thank you for all your effort
All I need is only the
custom_header:
compact_mode: true
For me it seems, that this is a dealbreaker for 116. I have numerous displays as weather station, alarm clock and simple information panels. It is essential, that the header can be hided at least due to available space. Bad luck. So I have to wait for a release with a similar option. By the way: Hiding tabs for defined useres works indeed. When editing the tab, there is a possibility to allow a tab for users
The german translation is a little bit strange. It means the distance I can see
I do also need footer: true for my mobile dashboard.
Any hint?
Just wanted to chime in and say thanks for all your hard work @mayker
I encourage anyone who’d like to see these functions integrated into vanilla HA to reply to the WTH post referenced above.
Crap, I guess I’m staying on .115 until the features make it to core. I use almost every feature in CH and it would be very hard to manage my kiosk tablets without it.
Thanks for solving so many of the main issues in hass, I’m sure this was a big job to maintain.
If it’s not working in 0.116 then rollback… it is working ok in 0.116 fr me but I only use it to hide the header. There is no other solution right now.
