Suggestions: make the text grayed out until mouseover + have smaller text size

[darkred]

First, thank you for this very useful extension!

I'd like to make two suggestions about the text:

• to be initially grayed out (less opacity), and only make it normal on mouseover, and
• to have smaller size (the same text size as in forked from - see the first screenshot in the end).

The also forked to text, not being grayed out, becomes distractive compared to the repo name, even though it's additional info: the most notable fork is surely very useful info, but less important that the original repo that the current one was forked from.

 

Here is a screenshot comparison:

forked from (default by GitHub in forks)

also forked to (this extension)

Indeed, you are right that the CSS formatting of this extension has drifted slightly since the new GitHub rebranding.

I'll fix it this coming weekend.

Thanks!

Thank you for the quick response.

How do you find my suggestion to make the text grayed out until mouseover ?

I would prefer to stick to GitHub's own styling as much as possible.

I can see the argument that it is not as important as the repo-name itself, but find the argument from consistency marginally more compelling. 🙃

Offering it as an option, disabled by default?

I've changed the styling of the text to match the forked from in the extension. However, I haven't implemented the greying out partly because it is more work, and partly because we may need to change the grey based on light/dark mode. I don't want to throw in more GitHub layout-dependent features into the extension quite yet. :)
