It can look good in transparent |
yeah, i hope 🙏 |
| 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... |

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