still working on it
|
We might have to wait till the new re-design arrives soon to determine if this still works before merging 👀 |
|
there is another design? Again? |
|
is there any news about the new YouTube UI, they are trying out? |
It's gradually being rolled out to some users... Will at least take 1month+ I assume... |
If you say it is going to be a thing for certain, I think I can close that pr. |


Refactor video control overlay background
This change updates the background style for the YouTube video player's top and bottom overlays.
Problem:
The prior semi-transparent gradient background looked inconsistent when the area behind the overlays lacked video content.
Solution:
Replaced the gradient with a solid, semi-transparent blurred black background (using rgba and backdrop-filter: blur()). This ensures a consistent appearance for the overlays, regardless of the underlying content.
examples:
(i want to add that i use enhanced youtube, but i checked it without it)

after:



this is not perfect so if anyone have any suggestions, i would gladly use it.
