Buzz is too prominently displayed - Distracts from images on thumbnails

The new buzz feature is fine. I'm personally not a fan but I understand the desire for interaction and some currency system on the page.

I do feel like it's a bit annoying when it's displayed at each image / thumbnail.

The bold color of the box for it is really distracting and brings me out of the artwork at display.

I would love it if it was included in the [+☺] button-fold. So it's only visible if you want it to be. I'm fine having it prominently displayed when viewing an image full-screen.
