Hi Elizabeth,
Please try adding the CSS below to your site in Appearance > Customize > Additionial CSS
svg.highlighter,
svg.pencil,
svg.grip-pencil,
svg.pencil-shaving,
svg.pencil-sharpener {
display: none;
}
If the CSS doesn’t work, please let me know.
Thanks š
I appreciate you getting back to me Gary … but that one isn’t working for me.
Any other suggestions?
Elizabeth
OK. I’ve just done this and it’s worked to remove the key pieces from displaying the theme, but has left a space in some of those spots (I’m sure my css needs cleaning up). Any further assistance to have this css improved will be greatly appreciated š
/* Highlighter */
.highlighter {
display: none;
}
/* Sharpener */
.sharpener0 {
display: none;
}
.sharpener1 {
display: none;
}
.sharpener2 {
display: none;
}
.sharpener3 {
display: none;
}
/* Mars */
.grip-pencil {
display: none;
}
/* Pencil */
.pencil {
display: none;
}
/* Little Pencil */
.pencil-little0 {
display: none;
}
.pencil-little1 {
display: none;
}
.pencil-little2 {
display: none;
}
.pencil-little3 {
display: none;
}
.pencil-little4 {
display: none;
}
.pencil-little5 {
display: none;
}
.pencil-little6 {
display: none;
}
/* Pencil Shaving */
.pencil-shaving {
display: none;
}
OMG I did it. For anyone else who wants to remove some of the elements from this theme, this additional CSS worked for me. Thank you Gary for your assistance. Appreciated … and I learned how to modify what you gave me to make it work.
/* Highlighter */
.highlighter {
display: none;
}
/* Sharpener */
.pencil-sharpener {
display: none;
}
/* Mars */
.grip-pencil {
display: none;
}
/* Pencil */
.pencil {
display: none;
}
/* Little Pencil */
.little-pencil {
display: none;
}
/* Pencil Shaving */
.pencil-shaving {
display: none;
}
@lifegames – Glad you got this sorted! If you’d like to refactor (simplify) your code a bit, this would accomplish the same thing in fewer lines, since you can target multiple elements separated by a comma in one CSS declaration, as Gary showed you above:
.highlighter, .pencil-sharpener, .grip-pencil, .pencil, .little-pencil, .pencil-shaving {
display: none;
}
@gary-barrett – thanks for pitching in, as always.
Thank you for teaching me how to refractor my css beautiful Kathryn. Awesome š
This theme is fabulous. Thank you for all you do.
You’re very welcome, Elizabeth. Hope you continue to enjoy Scratchpad!
One more thing – noticed that there’s still a pencil at the bottom of single post pages, like:

If you’d like to hide it as well, just change the above CSS to include one more element:
.post-navigation-container .little-pencil, .highlighter, .pencil-sharpener, .grip-pencil, .pencil, .little-pencil, .pencil-shaving {
display: none;
}
