Description:

This script aims to improve the theater mode on YouTube as the default theater UX is atrocious. The goal is to copy the nicer design ideas from Twitch.tv while still maintaining YouTube's unique UI features.

This script relies minimally on setTimeouts and instead replies mostly on event listener, making it resonably performant. [v1.0] would still be recommended if one wishes to use the minimal verson of this script. Design-wise I would like to think this is a reasonable compromise between the Twitch design and the current YouTube design, which should, and I hope, would maintain better compatibility with YouTube even without constant updating.

While I concur that adding to and moving parts of the YouTube layout would be very nice for this script, those would be (hopefully) added gradually.

Features:

  • Extends the video player to the bottom of the screen in theater mode.
  • Extends the chat area all the way to the top in theater mode.
  • Minor UI tweaks.

Compatibility Status:

Compatibility with various devices and browsers has yet to be tested explicitly.
