Server-side layout, cannot control by patch

[jpa102]

they made it fully rounded now (i modified the non functional youtube vanced for this)

this is what it used to look like, am i right?

version 17.39.35 had this rounded design (with l the most replayed feature), it seems that they modified the other versions below it as well to get rid of the old non-rounded design completely

that's just my guess though, we might not know if youtube will pull the plug on versions 17.xx.xx and 18.xx.xx so it renders these client versions unusable (17.34.36 spoofed with versions 19.xx.xx makes it crash or have tons of glitches)

There needs to be a fix ASAP

i don't know, but you can probably ask the internal youtube devs for this as they have full control on what kind of ui to display to youtube clients from their servers

maybe try asking to the official revanced repository (highly doubt they will acknowledge your request)

as kitadai31 said, they have no control to reverse this change (even better, read the "skill issue" part at the readme.md)

on the website / desktop version though, it's just simple css edits (remove the background-color or similar and adjust the padding or margin)

since i have no experience on modifying mobile apps, i have no idea on how to do this

At one point, 17.34.36 had a incomplete UI like this.

Layouts of YouTube app are constructed by Litho component, which is delivered by server-side It's like a html + css of native apps

I remember having that UI last year

If only it could be changed by changing the api but sadly, it's very difficult

ah, i see

so it's like the early days of youtube testing the rounded design elements?

don't mind my screenshot, this is my attempt at recreating the non-rounded ui that i love the most in "website" form

If only it could be changed by changing the api but sadly, it's very difficult

with youtube being closed source as usual, it adds up to the difficulty

Would you please provide a download link once it's completed and also, there is an old YouTube mobile userscript that restores 40% of the old layout.

[jpa102]

Would you please provide a download link

it's more of my personal project for fun, sorry about that

there is an old YouTube mobile userscript

i'm aware of similar userscripts, but it's just that i find the mobile site version of yt very difficult to deal with and get used to

even if i wanted the old mobile ui back, i will not use their hot dog water mobile site version (unless i have no time using the desktop version on my phone, i even indirectly use the mobile site using yt-dlp)

i can give reasons why not, but let's keep this discussion leaning to your original issue

Not to mention it's broken but oh well. We have ytm15 (Which faithfully restores the old YouTube Mobile layout although 2017 isn't that accurate)

[jpa102]

ytm15

yeah, i just discovered that site. it's decent in my opinion

i don't know if it's just me, but it doesn't load replies

still cool seeing it use the return youtube dislike api though

It's in development at this time

[jpa102]

i see, that's nice seeing others run their own youtube frontends

i have my own project, but i'm not trying to compete with others though
