minus-squareVictor@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up10arrow-down1·19 hours agoAt least it’s not covered by a dark shade now. 👍 I’m initially for this change. Good to see an iteration. Let’s see how it goes.
minus-squareMatriks404@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-23 hours ago At least it’s not covered by a dark shade now. Why does that matter? It looked fine. It was literally my favorite design of online video player, and I remember enabling it back in the day when it was still an experimental feature.
minus-squarejh29a@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·16 hours agoYeah. It also looks like the buttons might light up on hover, but they already basically do that so that’s only a very small plus. I too remember being annoyed about not seeing content behind the shade properly.
ugh, this is so much worse. takes up more space, is more distracting.
