A word about all the calls for using opaque buttons in the card layer
to hide unwanted background buttons for a particular card -- this only
works against a flat white background, and flat white backgrounds are
usually pretty unattractive.  Some shade of gray is usually greatly
preferable.  So stick with the openCard and closeCard handlers.  And do
use lock screen while hiding or showing more than one button, so
they'll pop up in a synchronized way.
