i just learned this today and am having fun with it now in the fossil UI...

In Google Chrome (or Chromium), open the Fossil web page, then the dev
tools (Ctrl-Shift-I for PC-like keyboards, no idea for Mac). Right-click on
some UI element in the fossil page when you would like to move somewhere
else. (For example, the timestamp in the top/right under the user name.)
Click the "inspect element" menu to jump to that item in the dev tools DOM
view. Now, in the DOM view, _drag_ that element to another location in the
DOM (e.g. drag the clock element above the user's name). Voila - the HTML
view is immediately updated.

Of course, the changes only last until the page is reloaded, but this is a
really easy way to tinker with potential changes to the fossil UI before
delving into the C code (or the CSS code, or custom JS code which moves the
elements around).
