Cannot Move Player Names

I noticed you cannot move player names when the dm turns off video and voice. Not sure if this is intended but it finally bugged me enough to post about it. Any fixes for this? Or just a way to remove names entirely? It's annoying when it starts covering the chat box.

I'm pretty sure they can be turned off using Stylus, though I'm not in a position to hunt down the code at the moment. I seem to remember a style that turned off almost all palettes and toolbars.
This one is annoying me as well, it's been a problem for over a week.  When you expand the text area the names no longer auto-stack to stay on the map side, and many of my games don't let me move them around.  Some make tokens appear when I try to drag the names, others simply can't be dragged at all. At the very least, restore the behavior where the names would automatically stay on the map side of the screen when the text/map split is moved/resized.
I'm not exactly sure what a style is on roll20 xD

If you want to do this, it requires the Stylus extension for your browser ( Chrome ,  Firefox ). Stylus catches the CSS styling that determines how a website displays and selectively overrides those styles, allowing you to make the site look or behave differently for you. It only works for the user that has the extension and the style installed, so you can change it for you, but your players will still see the normal interface. Once installed, use it to create a style that works on the domain app.roll20.net. To turn names off completely, the style is pretty simple: #playerzone .player { display: none; } However, there is so much functionality packed into the player zone, that I would not recommend removing it. (though you can toggle the style on and off pretty easily in Stylus' menu bar drop down). If the zone is taking up too much room, try this: #playerzone .player {   margin-left: 0px;   margin-right: 0px; } .player .playername {     font-size: 12px;     padding: 3px 0 3px 0;     line-height: 18px;     background-repeat: no-repeat;     width: 100px;     max-height: 40px;     word-wrap: break-word;     cursor: pointer;     position: relative; } This duplicates the "small avatar" size, but works on the "names only" setting. It also reduces the spacing between names to 0, to give even more room. Note that I have not tried this with video, only with names and names+avatars. There may be other issues, but this should do the trick.

If you want ultimate flexibility that you can turn on or off, regardless of browser, and not requiring a refresh to restore, I've added a&nbsp; complete interface control style to this thread .
