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'm really not happy with the revised toolbox being in the centre of the page, but other than that this is still a very solid piece of work. Would it be possible to include an option to toggle the toolbox tweaking on and off in the Options panel that you've devised (which itself is a very good addition)?

I guess that could have been the reason why your earlier attempt to install Deviant Statistics didn't work. Well, I don't need to say anything else but thanks, and that I'm sure you'll be impressed by what else FF can do.

I've been doing HTML, CSS and JavaScript for a long time. Learning from other people's code is a good technique.

Before you learn JavaScript, you should learn HTML. There are plenty of learning resources for both. To see the source for any page, press CTRL+U.

The only problem I have found so far is that it has problems loading pictures in the smaller view, it will only partly load them or not at all. This happened last time I was using the add on before I formated the computer. Strange it only does it from time to time and not every picture though.

Still this is an amazing add on and so much more cleaner.

BoffinBrain In reply to EvoIIICE9A [2008-03-03 23:41:39 +0000 UTC]

Are you using the extension? I'm confident that your problem won't be caused by deviantTIDY because it cannot interfere with the workings for Firefox itself. Try disabling other addons first, or open in Safe Mode to see if things improve.
