[Feature Request]: Theming the player style #6010

Closed 5BNeumann closed 3 weeks ago

5BNeumann commented 3 weeks ago

Guidelines

Problem Description

I liked a lot the old player and now that I've updated, I have a gigantic play/pause button in the middle of my screen each time I move my cursor, Alt+Tab to get back to Freetube and a little bit after I resumed the video.

Proposed Solution

There should be an option for theming the player, maybe in a similar way to how i3/sway can be configured.

Alternatives Considered

Remove the white circle around the start/pause button and do not make it appear when you move your cursor, which is likely to happen by accident when you have a touchpad. Being able to switch between internal players, to avoid having to open videos in an external player.

You can hide it with the Display Play Button In Player setting in the Player setting section.

Theming the player and maintaining multiple players is completely out of scope of FreeTube, it would have a massive maintenance burden, that isn't worth it and would take our limited time away from much more important issues.

My bad, I'm blind, I didn't saw it despite searching in the parameters, thanks ! I know how annoying maintaining something - even pretty small - is and adding theming is nothing like small so I understand this feature probably won't ever be added. Again, thanks for being so fast to answer to my issue, have a nice day.
