The small (but changing) Red Numbers in your Tumblr Header Logo, in your Dashboard, it means one thing only.  People you are following have recently published a new post and Tumblr lets you know that you need to refresh your dashboard screen in order to see it.

If you are kinda tired of  seeing the same old blue dashboard, there’s one way of changing and customizing Tumblr’s dashboard background.  This is only for Firefox and Chrome users, and We haven’t tested it in Internet Explorer.  Through a addon the user is able to choose from many available Tumblr Dashboard backgrounds.

How to Change Tumblr Dashboard Bakground.

For Firefox Users.

1. First of all, go here and install the GreaseMonkey script.  Restart your browser.
2. Now go here, and choose the customized Tumblr dashboard, click on it.
3. One in the personalized Tumblr Dashboard Theme, you will see an option on the right that says greasemonkey users can install this as a script, go for it.
4. In firefox, go to Tools >> GreaseMonkey >> Manage Userscripts and choose and choose again the one you had previously installed.
5. Visit your Tumblr dashboard and now it should be displaying the customized background.

For Chrome Users.

1. Same steps as above but in Chrome, don’t need to manage scripts in Tools >>> Extensions.

Most of the Tumblrs that ask How do they see the list of their tumblr followers is because they have none yet, since the link that shows up on the right side side of the dashboard, only shows up when you have your first follower.

Anyways, if you are too anxious to wait we’ll provide you with the link to visit your yet empty list.  Something opposed to this is a Tumblr Tumbleroll.
