About
This Chrome extension removes the translucent "glass" effect from the YouTube player and replaces several built-in control icons with a simpler, old-style UI. It also provides custom SVG icons for volume, playback skip, settings, size/fullscreen toggles and subtitles to match the extension's visual language. Key features * Removes YouTube's glass/translucent effect on the player controls. * Adds left and right side backgrounds beside the control bar for a solid look. * Reorders left controls (swap previous / play placement) to fit the old style. * Replaces built-in control icons with custom SVG icons (mute/unmute, prev/next track, settings, theater/default size, fullscreen, subtitles on/off).
