Shorten Posts button suggestion

[marcustyphoon]

Standard disclaimer: I may not be in the primary audience for this script - I know some people are passionate about their shortened posts, and I'm pretty ambivalent! However:

Trying it out for a bit, I like it and could see myself leaving it on, but I repeatedly find my eyes jumping over the white expand button and not realizing the post is shortened, then getting confused. Perhaps coloring it just a bit, for example to the color of the box in ask posts, could increase this clarity without going so far as to look like a non-native element?

Might still be a bit too subtle, I dunno! I played around with some box shadows, because if you know me, you know I love to overuse box shadows, but nothing seemed great.

(As an aside, the bottom left corner of the shorten posts button isn't rounded on my Firefox. Why? No clue! It's fine in Chrome. Hopefully no one sees this and loses the ability to unsee it :P)

Implemented in 838caf9! I went with the secondary accent colour, since that's (seemingly) designed to contrast subtley but obviously with the post background.

Dark Mode	circa 2016

Also, the bottom left border radius thing was probably caused by using overflow-y: clip;, a value which Chrome doesn't support (and so falls back to overflow-y: hidden;). This was so user avatars would stay visible, but behaviour across browsers being consistent is probably more important, so I've changed this to simply be overflow: hidden; in 1f2639a. (Using just overflow-y: hidden; caused horizontal scrollbars to appear on Firefox 😱)

1. guess i'll do that on monday
2. why are your screenshots always so tiny

https://jsfiddle.net/w60sr9k7/1/ hmm... this works fine in chrome... there must be some subtlety I missed that causes the sticky container to vanish.

2. I always upload them in full retina resolution, have them take up like half the page height, then think, "this seems like a waste, the thing I want to communicate is visible at the proverbial 10,000 feet," then make them smaller :P

I always upload them in full retina resolution [...] then make them smaller

i'd strongly prefer you simply take up all that page height, or only resize down to ~1080p. i like seeing things.

Sure thing, can do!
