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

Haha yeah, I kept looking at them and thinking the Edit Layout was enabled. So distracting!

I'm glad you like it

No worries.

I decided to modify it so the buttons are completely transparent just to test out how that'd work.

electricjonny In reply to irient [2009-01-01 13:20:06 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, at first I was going to make it so they're completely transparent, but then it's a little tricky to know where to hover, especially on the Poll module since it has two buttons.

But feel free to do whatever kind of editing you want to it

irient In reply to electricjonny [2009-01-01 13:22:57 +0000 UTC]

Ah yeah I see... you're right, it may be a bit complicated... maybe not that much for me since I already know where the buttons are but it may be a bit complicated for people who just began using the new pages.

Coolbeans.

Don't know if you noticed, but I made this suggestion on the new profile thread. Well, not the translucent suggestion, but to remove them completely. ยขmindfuckx suggested something similar to this here script.

Imma use this.

electricjonny In reply to mixdown [2009-01-01 09:32:07 +0000 UTC]

You suggested that they be hidden until you click the Edit Layout button? That would be nice too, since they just... well, stand out too much for me normally

I hope something like that happens when it goes live

Thanks for the comments and fave

mixdown In reply to electricjonny [2009-01-01 09:45:42 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, this is my suggestion . Pretty much what you just said.

Thank you for this script.

electricjonny In reply to mixdown [2009-01-01 09:52:54 +0000 UTC]

Ah yes, I remember reading that now.

And it would be pretty easy to edit the CSS to make it so they're totally transparent until you hover over them. The only thing is it's a little hard to figure out where to hover, especially on your poll, which has an Edit button and a New button. Making them show only when you click the Edit Layout button would require some JavaScripting, which I can't do.

You've done enough, mate. We'll just wait and see what happens.
