[Feature request] Add a black and white option #46

Closed ItsPasi closed 3 years ago

ItsPasi commented 3 years ago

YouTube changed its style in the last few days removing almost every blue of the website including the rating bar making it only black and white. An option to have the thumbnail rating bar in black instead of blue would be a fitting change I believe.

Custom Colors would also be an option I would appreciate.

@pasi123567, thanks for the suggestion. I have thought about adding the option for custom colors for a while, but your feature request inspired me to finally do it. Users can now set the rating bar colors to any custom CSS colors they want. This has been added in the latest release, version 1.4.0.

I also thought about adding explicit "Black / Gray" and "White / Gray" options to match YouTube's new rating bar colors used with their Light Theme and Dark Theme, but I tried out those colors and I didn't think they stood out enough, so for now, I decided against adding those as explicit options and only added the custom colors option. But if you want to try setting the custom colors to the new YouTube theme rating bar colors, here are the colors that you would use:

Light Theme ("Black / Gray" rating bar):

Dark Theme ("White / Gray" rating bar):

Let me know if the addition of the custom colors option is enough to consider this feature request fulfilled. Or if you still want those specific color options added ("Black / Gray" and "White / Gray" ), I can keep this feature request open and see if enough other people also what these options added as well, and if so, I'll add them.

Thanks for adding this so quickly! I believe the option for custom colors should be enough, blue still fits YouTube and I agree that black and white colors can be more diffifult to spot. Thanks again for the new option 😁

Sounds good. I'll close this issue then. Thanks again for the feature request.
