How to regain screen estate in dashboard view in 11.5

Upgrading from 9.3 to 11.5 there is less screen estate in dashboard due to some additions. In particular there is a almost empty space near the top where the pull down menus for selecting time range and refresh rate. As a result my panes do not fit the screen anymore. Is there some way how to configure this ?

seems to be similar to How to minimize top bars in Grafana 11.5 except the screen estate in my case is occupied by something else.

I don’t understand these design choices at all.

I’ve got the same issue and haven’t found a setting or solution yet except downgrading to a previous version.

This user here says they solved it by using JavaScript to block loading of certain elements but I cannot believe there’s not an easier option.
