Description
/* Updates and shit - July 2nd, 2011 */I updated this slightly, and instead of tacking on yet another edit to this already long deviation description, I just decided to kill it all and start over.
So in a nut shell, this will make your |New|Edit| and |pencil| buttons mostly transparent until you hover. So the buttons you see on your userpage widgets will be transparent, along with the pencil button on comments to let you hide them until you hover over them.
This latest update doesn't quite look the same as the preview does here, but you get the added bonus of an animated opacity change instead of the sudden jump from translucent to opaque. Well, at least if you use Firefox 4.0 or above.
To Install
You'll need either Firefox or Chrome , and have the Stylish extension.Firefox Stylish - [link]
Chrome Stylish - [link]
Once you have those, you can open this link and do this, depending on if you use Firefox or Chrome:Firefox - Copy the entire contents of that link into a new blank style from the Stylish menu (click icon -> write new style -> blank style), give it a name, and then hit save.
Chrome - Open that link, but only copy the line starting with "/* make edit/new buttons..." till the last "}" character, but don't copy that last "}". Then in the "Applies to" area, add in a "URLs on the domain" category and write in "deviantart.com".
It's a lot more work in Chrome, but that's another reason Firefox is better
Now this applies to group pages also, so if you have privs there, you might find the small icons on things being transparent annoying, but you can fix that, sorta, if you take out some lines. I haven't been using it on those icons for very long, so I'll see if that's annoying to me. Anyway, hope you all still like this

Very wonderful idea. I've had the same qualms about the new page. Just looked messy. This fixes that problem beautifully. Well done. ^^

Hehe yeah, I didn't come up with this idea, I just made it happen. I saw this suggested on the original beta post in the forums.

I'll have to come back later when I'm on my own computer and download this (If I can figure out how that Style thing works). Seems pretty useful to me~. Congratulations on the DD!

I like it! The only thing I would add is for the buttons to fade in and out on mouseover and mouseout, but I also no that would be nigh impossible.
Great little extension!

Haha, that's certainly possible, but not with just CSS and Stylish

Honestly? I didn't even notice until I spotted this DD (and thought 'why has a screenshot got a DD?' and read your artist's comment. It seems so completely inconsequential to me, but if people want to fiddle around with a button, I'm sure they will and I'm sure they'll be thankful you wrote some code for it. *shrugs*

Perfect, well done. Love this. I didn't find them too distracting, but knowing i can get rid of either way is a massive plus. Cheers.

I would appreciate the default state to be just a little more visible as I'm affraid I'll be looking for the buttons sometimes
Good job anyway. Installed, thanx!

Hehe, you can easily modify it to be as transparent as you want Right click on the Stylish icon, and then right click on the name of this style.
Just change this line in bold:div.gm-controls span.gmb-edit a, div.gm-controls span.gmb-submit a {
opacity:.07!important;
}It can be anywhere between 0 and 1. 0 is completely transparent, and 1 is completely opaque. So I would change it to .1 or so. Hope that helps

You'd think that you'd be put on Creative Staff with all of these wonderful modifications that you write that make dA a better place! Congrats on the DD! I'm using this, it's a great way to see what others see when visiting your page.

Haha, well I may have some ideas, but I'm no designer or anything I'm glad you think I would be good there though
And yeah, I like to see what my page looks like normally, without those huge buttons (and without a crappy looking hover...).
