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.

Your proposed fix worked fine in Konqueror.

What did they do now?
On the subject, I noticed the mood box was broken in Opera without any CSS. I think that's a known issue.

Never mind; seems there was a problem with KDE's HTTP plug-in (it was also crashing MSN's IM service in Kopete). I just updated to fix the MSN problems and the Konqueror problems went away too.

Ah, I see. That is extremely unusual - nobody else has this issue. Have you disabled deviantTIDY to check whether it is the sole cause of the problem? If so, what other extensions and skins are you using that may affect this?

ahhh did you intend to make the 'full view' button disappear? it's not a problem, but maybe you should put that in there

BoffinBrain In reply to cellophane-rose [2007-10-16 00:36:32 +0000 UTC]
Yes, I intended to remove the Zoom button as it takes up valuable space on the toolbar, and you can perform exactly the same job by clicking on the image.
PS. Make sure you reply to my comments, not your own, so that they appear in my message centre.

Well, sorry to be nitpicky, but it seems you forgot the mood box fix (the one where Konqueror and Opera show a scrollbar on the mood button).
However, I want to take the opportunity to tell you that both DeviantTIDY styles mostly work in the Opera 9.5 weekly snapshot builds I've been using, especially the latest weekly (Linux build 1600, at least), except that the mood box still doesn't work. The snapshot I'm referring to is here: [link]
I hope this helps...
And by the way, Opera 9.5 a1 and later have full support for text shadows now. All that remain are Firefox and IE, now that Konqueror, Safari, and Opera all do them.

There is a HUGE difference regarding CSS support. (as in everything that looked like crap in Opera 9.2 looks great in 9.5 a1)

Actually, I've been using the weekly builds because they seem less buggy than 9.23. =3 But I've still been using Konqueror as my main browser.

*Sharp intake of breath*
I just installed this, after seeing the link in your signature, and let me say I'm really impressed! I don't stray out of the cartoony-art community on deviantart very much, so I never discovered that things like this actually exist! (Shame on me) I'm gonna really enjoy exploring the website using this add-on, now. I'm faving this, though, because a) I may need to check on some details and b) it really made me happy! Thank you for sharing!!
