[Plugin: BuddyPress Activity Plus] Hide/Animate Buttons

I am looking for a way to hide the buttons until the text area is active and have them appear with the rest of the whats-new-options buttons such as the Submit button and the Post In drop down menu. Ideally I would also like all of them to appear on one line if that is possible.
