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.

I like it. It makes a lot of sense. Especially how it's available as an extension by itself.

The deviantART prefixes in the title of my Firefox 3 browser-window are hidden, though the box is unchecked in the devianTIDY options.

It's just not the same, to use this gorgeous extension with Greasemonkey or Stylish.
Great job.

Thanks. And yes, you're right about the title prefixes. They're always on, regardless of the setting. I've fixed the script. Are you using the extension? I'll update that soon as well.

Thanks, for taking care about this issue.

It seems that whenever I set Position of deviant commands on userpages... to dA default (far-right), the Presence | Community... links of deviantSTATISTICS go haywire.
Am running Windows XP Service Pack 2 and Firefox 3.

Do you know of any other conflicts with add-ons?

Solitude12 In reply to ??? [2008-06-21 20:45:14 +0000 UTC]

I've got this problem for deviantSTATS. When I set the deviant commands to be on the right and not centered, and then hover over the deviant commands, it rapidly switches back and forth to showing the stats and commands. [link] Theres a quick screenshot. It only happens when I set the commands to the default right side (but the default for deviantTIDY is center right?), so I'm not sure what's going on. Any ideas?

Okay I tried the public deviantSTATS, and same problem. It only happens when someone looks at their own userpage. And this doesn't occur with the deviantTIDY greasemonkey script disabled... When you were checking, did you use your own page?

Well yes, the changes take a little while to get used to. If you still don't like it, you can uninstall the extension in the same way as any other extension through Tools > Addons.

Im using deviantTIDY 2.6 on Firefox 3.0 and when I click on deviantTIDY Options it doesnt do anything. Any ideas?

BoffinBrain In reply to anonymous-bot [2008-06-19 12:38:35 +0000 UTC]

deviantTIDY's options are only accessible inside deviantART pages, not from the Firefox interface. That's because the script is designed to work through Greasemonkey too, and doesn't need to be an extension.

BoffinBrain In reply to anonymous-bot [2008-06-20 15:28:31 +0000 UTC]

dAv6 is the next deviantART website design. Although I forgot that only beta-testers can use that at the moment.

If you're using Stylish and Greasemonkey, then you should be familiar with Manage Styles/Scripts dialogs where you can edit and remove all styles/scripts.

I've put a new screenshot in the FAQ section of the description, which shows the location of the Options link as well as the version number. If you don't see this, then yes, I think you should remove both style and script, then download the latest versions.
