 Nice! Thank you! I think the `animation-delay` should be dropped down from
 `0.8s` to `0.1s` to make it feel more responsive when you click, but
 otherwise that works really well (history: that delay was there to give
 the user a chance to see the preview before the buttons appeared).

 UX-wise I'm still not sure that this method of hiding/showing is very
 discoverable, but I'll leave that decision to the designers among us.
 Here's an animated gif of the current behavior in twentyfifteen. Note that
 my background clicks are hiding/showing the icons.
