About
Description "Side Media Controller" is a beautifully designed media controller that lets you seamlessly manage and switch between all active video and audio tabs (such as YouTube, Spotify, and more) directly from your Chrome Side Panel. Say goodbye to constantly hunting for playing tabs. Control all active playing media right from your browser's sidebar without cluttering your workspace. Key Features ✨ 1. Captivating Frosted-Glass Design Frosted Glassmorphism: An elegant frosted-glass effect with dynamic backdrop blurs that seamlessly blend into any desktop workspace. Soft Pastel Mesh Background: A beautiful, slow-flowing animated aura background. Artwork Tone-Sync: Automatically extracts album cover art from active media to gracefully tone-match the background gradient. 🌓 2. System-Synced Themes (Light & Dark) Auto OS Theme Detection: Automatically matches your system's light or dark mode on launch. Fluid Color Transition: Toggling between light and dark modes smoothly transforms the entire color scheme like a drop of ink in water. 📱 3. Elegant "Active Tabs" Slide Sheet Unified List View: Instantly view all active playing tabs in an elegant list and switch between them seamlessly. Buttery-Smooth Animations: Slides up and down gracefully from the bottom with highly polished slide animations. 🎯 4. Pure & Perfect Media Controls Sleek Play/Pause and Track Skip buttons. Responsive progress sliders showing elapsed and remaining times. Minimalist, hover-activated volume sliders and single-tap instant mute. Long titles smoothly scroll automatically (Marquee effect). 🛠️ How to Use Pin the extension and open "Side Media Controller" from your Chrome toolbar. Play any video or audio on YouTube, Spotify, or any other website—it will be automatically detected. Control everything seamlessly right from your sidebar!
