Dark Youtube feature like in Magic Actions

[Eisys]

I saw Magic Actions referenced in another feature request(#1065) and thought I'd ask for something too. I would like to see the Day/Night feature from Magic Actions added to YTC. The Day/Night feature is the only reason I still have the addon installed, YTC does everything else perfectly. I know the Lights Off feature is present in YTC but it's not really my cup of tea. It makes the video page way too dark so I can't read comments or see recommended videos, plus it doesn't work all over the YT website like Day/Night does. And there aren't any 'themes' or 'skins' I've found that work as well as the Day/Night works in Magic Actions. I can't stand the whiteness of normal YT and would love to see this being added.

Have you tried Black Youtube by Panos? That's what I use plus a simple CSS script I wrote for stylish to change the youtube center settings window to match.

[Eisys]

@greatwroth that uses stylish so thats another addon I'd have to install.. plus its pretty much pure black.. Magic Action's one ise dark gray-ish..

@Eisys no it doesn't. You can install Stylish scripts via Tampermonkey/Greasemonkey/etc. without any problems. It's just javascript.

No you can't and it's not javascript...

@mzso the userstyle website also wraps the css file into a JavaScript file, which you can install as a userscript. But you're correct in your assumption that you can't directly install 'Stylish scripts' as a userscript.

I'm using this style and it works pretty well. https://userstyles.org/styles/62289/black-youtube-by-panos

I see. Is there any advantage/disadvantage in using the userscript variant?

[hmunkey]

@mzso Ah sorry that's what I meant. By default the files are css, but there's a js link on the page which can easily be installed via any userscript manager. It's probably better to run the userstyle as a userscript since Tampermonkey has a lower memory footprint than Stylish, but it probably will not make a huge difference. Just make sure that the website includes are properly set up so your manager isn't trying to apply the script to every site you visit.

But it won't make any difference whether the dark YT is built into YT Center or runs as a standalone script other than convenience.

Just to clarify, there's no clash with using the Panos Dark Youtube Userstyle?

+1 for this. Panos Dark Youtube isn't terrible, but the deep grey look from Magic Actions looks infinitely nicer in my opinion. I much prefer YTC to MA, but that full theme is the one thing I really miss.

[Eisys]

I use this: https://userstyles.org/styles/92164/youtube-lights-out-a-dark-youtube-theme It's very similar to MA and works perfectly! I install it as a userscript with TamperMonkey!

But I still hope this will get added one day!

[joshsleeper]

@Eisys That's perfect! Other than mousewheel commands to change volume (which I hardly used, honestly) these two scripts fill every role that MA did now and are much cleaner.

Thanks so much!! :smile:
