Description

Updates the Desktop YouTube UI to have rounded corners and further enhancements and tweaks.

Refine and enhance the desktop experience of YouTube with more consistent UI, rounded corners and general tweaks. This extension does not change any functionality of YouTube, this is simply an UI polish and enhancement. The UI tweaks will work in both light and dark mode and will adapt accordingly. Below is a list of the UI tweaks that have been currently made:

SUBSCRIPTIONS:
- Increased spacing between each video
- Added a hover animation to each video, making it clear which video you are clicking and to add some flare.
- Video thumbnails now use rounded corners

VIDEO PLAYER:
- Adds rounded corners to video player
- Increased the roundness of corners on action buttons
- Adds rounded corners to the individual flyout cards
- Adds a hover animation to the individual flyout cards
- Fixes the flyout menu appearing below end slate elements
- Adds a background colour to the Share, Download, Clip and Save buttons to make them more consistent with other action buttons
- Increased the spacing of elements within the channel strip and top comment strip
- Adds rounded corners to the channel strip and top comment sections
- Adds rounded corners to the hover boxes of end slate items and video thumbnails

COMMENTS
- Adds clear separation of each comment by adding a faint border and increased padding
- Increases the spacing between comments and the "See more replies" button.
- Adds clear separation to each comment within the reply chain including a faint border

- Adds a hover animation to each video (slight slide out)
- All thumbnails have rounded corners

Not bad, I guess; it does what it claims to do.

I love the extension. That being said, I have noticed that when you highlight the "view replies" function in the comments, the oval around it overlaps the comment's border. It's a very small thing, but it'd be cool to see it addressed

Great extension, but needs just a few features: a.) Customization: I read the other reviews, and know that you are working on it. b.) Functionality on dark mode: The "Continue Watching" text is hard to see when using dark mode.
