Big thanks to Zakero for highlighting subtle CSS/html components necessary
to achieve my desired Compact view.
With the following changes, I now prefer Compact view over Modern.
/* CSS */
span.timelineCompactComment {
display: block; /*Necessary for margin-top to work. */
font-family: Consolas; /*Fixed pitch font. */
white-space: pre; /*Respect newlines and spaces. */
margin-top: -1em; /*Shove comment higher in the cell. */
}
span.timelineEllipsis {
display: block; /*Necessary for visibilty to work. */
visibility: hidden; /*Do not show '...' */
position: absolute; /*No newline applied to hidden content.*/
}
span.clutter {
display: block; /*Necessary for visibilty to work. */
visibility: hidden; /*Do not show 'check-in,user,tags.' */
position: absolute; /*No newline applied to hidden content.*/
}
Thanks for Fossil!
