About DeviantTidy
DeviantTidy is a set of styles and scripts to improve the layout and usability of deviantART.
Ever since dAv5, many users have been unhappy with various aspects of dA's layout and design. Some decisions on font size, margins and spacing had clearly been neglected.
And so DeviantTidy was written, to claim back much of that wasted space! Inspired by some of janvanlysebettens 's CSS mods for Firefox, DeviantTidy was a very lightweight modification to fix comment boxes and various other assets on dA pages, to make things clearer and more streamlined. Since then, it's expanded to cover lots of other annoyances, big and small, to improve the look and usability of the site, and with a JavaScript interface, it's fully customizable too.
Features
- More efficient Comment Boxes: DeviantTidy reduces the minimum height and margins on comment boxes, and further reduces the size of signatures, so you can see more comments at once. You can also add scrollbars to really long comments.
- Hide and collapse elements: Hide social sharing buttons, 'More Like This' mini-galleries and other bloat from deviantART pages so you can focus on your task.
- Indent guides: A problem that has been around as long as nested comments is the difficulty you face in working out who replied to who in long and complex discussions. With DeviantTidy, just point at a comment to see guide-lines in the left margin, showing you the exact nest level the comment is on.
- Cleaner Forum threads: Thread listings are now easier to browse, with all unnecessary icons removed, and shorter table rows (one line high instead of two, doubling the number of threads you can see per screen).
- Floating comment box: If you want to be able to type your comment on a deviation or journal while looking at the original, without having to constantly scroll up and down the page, this feature allows you to make the reply box float above the page content, following you wherever you scroll. Press ALT+SHIFT+C to activate it.
- Hide thumbnails in deviation sidebar: Reduce distractions by hiding 'more from this artist' and 'more like this' mini thumbnails when viewing art.
- Hide the orange Upgrade to CORE ad in the page header (turned off by default).
- ...and many more!
Installation
In order to use Greasemonkey scripts, you need to install Greasemonkey for Mozilla Firefox, or Tampermonkey for Google Chrome.
FAQ
How can I check that DeviantTidy is working?
When you first install DeviantTidy (or the script component), a dialog will appear when you visit any DA page to let you know that it was successfully installed. You should also see a 'DeviantTidy Options' link under the user menu on the header navigation when you are logged in.
Can I use DeviantTidy with [insert your favourite skin or script here]?
DeviantTidy can be used safely in combination with other custom deviant skins and scripts because it does the very minimum amount of changes required to get the desired effect. In the rare event of clashes in styles or broken functionality, tell me about the issue, and include info about the other mods you are using.

cool thanks, could you think about an option to set it please? I really would like more versatility. And I really do love the mod so Thanks for the great app.

If you're interested in modding things to your exacting standards, you could install Stylish and Greasemonkey and get the components!

yes! cant tell u how much i missed this, thanks very much for the update. fully appreciated.

Hey, I'm not sure if anyone has already suggested this, but perhaps have the top portion of the page (with the links to your devwatch/messages pages, friends and collection tabs) float and follow you while you scroll up or down a page? I've already had a userstyle for this, and I thoroughly liked it for its convenience.
Other than that, thanks for getting this back on the road
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's a nice idea, but I don't think it's something that enough people will find useful. Personally, I want all of my available screen height dedicated to content - if I really need to go to the top I'll scroll to it, or press HOME on the keyboard. If users do want something like that, they're free to find a style already being supported. It shouldn't conflict with anything else.

I have a Greasemonkey script that already does this. It's almost trivial to implement.
document.getElementById("output").setAttribute("style", "overflow: auto; max-height: 489px;");
That's it. The height though is tailored to my screen with toolbars etc on top. If you want to play with this, that's all I did.

Fair enough, just thought I'd share it, that's all
Shortcuts FTW
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Uh oh, there seems to be a bug (I think) where it shortens the deviant commands list, only when viewing your own profile.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don't see any problem. It is supposed to hide the less useful deviant commands.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh I think I know what may be happening, it's hiding my "birthday today" script: [link]

Do you know if there's a way to just Expanded Message Count: (the one that makes it [2A, 2C, 1J])?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, there are a few styles that do only that. Or I can provide the CSS for you if you use Stylish.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Do you have the links to the styles that do that? I'd really very much appreciate it (and also if you have the CSS too I could try that) I use to have it but I can no longer find the link.
Thank you!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well if you use Stylish, just paste this in:
#rockdock-message-count a[title]:after {content:" "attr(title) !important; font-size:80% !important; color:#66726B;}
Font size and colour are optional.

This might be a stupid question, but type it in where?

R u going to update the deviantTidy halfmode too
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
HalfMode was designed to make v4 look like v5. We're v6 now! It's obsolete.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
But can you make it for v6 too with the background like in the message center
I'm missing that
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
"with the background like in the message center"
?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The "?" means I didn't understand. Can you explain exactly what features from HalfMode are applicable here?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I want you to update the colors in the frontpage to the colors in the message center to v6
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The front page has the same colour scheme as the message centre and the rest of deviantART, so I still don't understand.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nope it hasn't ... in v6 the message center looks great and the frontpage should look as good as the message center
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
How should it change? The layout is pretty similar.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The Message Center colors are lighter and nicer
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The colours of the front page and the message center are the same!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Look at the link what I was thinking [link]
I would like to have the frontpage like it is in the Message center
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh... That's not the front page. That's your userpage. What I'll say is that skinning such a large portion of the site would require a lot of effort and redrawing most of the graphics too, so it's not within deviantTIDY's scope. Someone else might give it a try, though. I know of deviantGREEN - [link] but I don't know if they did the message center yet.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nope I have deviantgreen installed but they did not the message center color .... maybe I should change it on my own
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It would take a while... I don't know if it's worth the time to be honest. The two schemes are not too different.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah but for me it would look better
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Yeah same here
But when it was working, it was a god-sent
nice work!
