YouTube.com - dark gray redesign (vC)

WindPower said on Dec 21 2008

There's still lots to fix now. Also, Valacar, try uploading a video; there's lots of unstyled elements in the upload process.

Klarth said on Dec 18 2008

This addon is great, however for users videos page the background image is overriden by the black background.

I fixed it by changing the attribute "background" in the body class to "background-color". It doesn't have impact on other pages styles (for what i have seen) so try it!

body {
background-color: #000 !important;
color: #ddd !important;
}

Youtube's pages change so frequently.

It is so frustrating.

Hellosinister said on Dec 13 2008

Srry for sounding bad, but we need another update bbacuz the broadcast yourself sign is white, and the sign in with google account banner is white.

eroock said on Dec 06 2008

Immediate update - great!

luckymouse said on Nov 21 2008

When viewing a video, YT added a search function to the right of the page, which is white of course.

Putting #wsSearchForm under the "Highlight Blocks" section fixes it.

Edit 11/20/08 - Seeing messages about sponsored videos and Google Chrome adverts in yellow boxes @ homepage. I suggest putting .pyv-callout-box (sponsored videos), #chrome-promo, #side-announcement-box (G-chrome ads) under the /* Ads */ section.

/* Various background color fixes */
, #default-language-box, .chrome-link {
background: #000 !important;
}

log163 said on Nov 05 2008

i love your style, however would it be possible to have it implemented everywhere except on channel pages so that i can see the style that was chosen by that channel?

kuroi-ryu said on Oct 24 2008

Seems that Youtube changed their main page so that entries don't match anymore.
But I love this style!

tbone said on Oct 04 2008

Very nice. Makes Youtube look so much better. Only problem I seem to have is that the drop-down menus you get when click "Flag" (when you're flagging a video as spam, for example) seem to contain nothing until you disable the style.

Jouni81 said on Sep 14 2008

I've been using it for a long time, I love it. Seems like the #masthead has changed to #old-masthead and #footer to #old-footer. (Seems like it was already updated on the old site.)

johnequickiii said on Aug 22 2008

Love it, love it...

Gotta let you know though. My Account > Organize Videos seems to have problems. No videos or options show on the page.

Other than that, this is the BEST one I've seen. Great work. ^^

Awesome!

openuser said on Jul 26 2008

omgoshhhhhhhhhh THANK YOU SO MUCH i mean along time ago i installed the style but it wasnt as perfect as now, like i re-installed it and good job thank you so much i love how clear and nice it looks not old but newwwww yay im so glad also this isnt my account i actually dont have one this is a hacked account =p so for i to be able to comment (see the things i do to give a good responce to you) so yeah anyway good job!!!!

scabootssca said on Jul 23 2008

I like it!
I found a problem though, If you click show comment on a comment marked as spam the background color is still the old color. This fixes it though:
.watch-comment-spam { background-color: #000 !important; }

I look forward to more styles from you..

Adnrew said on Jun 11 2008

Youtube homepage is completely changed. New boxes and sections.

Skahara said on Jun 06 2008

I can't barely read the Inbox messages (http://www.youtube.com/inbox?folder=inbox) because the foreground and background color are almost white.

By the way, I love your user style :)

Col.Mustard said on May 27 2008

Very nice, thanks for updating it.

Bonzodog said on Apr 10 2008

As of April 10th 2008, it appears to be broken. They have changed the layout of the site again.

ekz said on Apr 09 2008

To change the star with white background (Spotlight video) add this at the end of code (right before the last } )

/*Change featured_star.png */
img[src="/img/featured_star.png"] {
width:0px !important;
height:0px !important;
padding-left:18px !important;

GrayTube said on Apr 03 2008

This is just what I have been searching for. Would you *please* make it work with the floating divs on the youtube beta homepage (youtube.com/iyt)????????

Marko_J said on Mar 19 2008

Simply great!

jweyrich said on Feb 20 2008

The style is nice.
But, as netMASA said above, it needs some fixes.
The most important now is to change the text color for the yellow buttons:
.action-button-text { color: #000 !important; }

Take a look on my orkut style: http://userstyles.org/styles/5150
Good combination IMHO.

ruskie said on Feb 19 2008

I tweaker it to make it have an arial font with bold writing as its easier to read. Also its a good idea to make the video slightly bigger so that it still keeps its shape use the #movie_player tag, very good script and with the extra tweaks I certainly prefer it to the boring layout they currently use.

netMASA said on Feb 06 2008

This style used to be great, but it has some broken parts still.

To fix, please add these rules:
/*problems with upload button and still hard to see dropdown*/
#search-options-container, search-options, .action-button, .action-button-text {color: #000000 !important;}
/*login floater */
.contentBox {background-color:#000000 !important;}

to the bottom of the style (right before the last } )

That should fix it.

bugmenot1 said on Feb 03 2008

Some things that need fixing.

The text for the upload button is too light:

The text for login is also too light:

Another example is when you get a confirmation email sent:

I love it! Thanks so much for this.

megamorphg said on Dec 20 2007

AMAZING!
Everything works fine for me except it's kind of annoying to have tool tips pop up which I can hardly see (due to the gray yellow foreground and yellow background).

Yuna.Fire. said on Dec 14 2007

THANK YOU. Gawd that new header of theirs was absolutely *horrid*. Totally clashed with my dark theme. Awesome job!!

Skyfire said on Nov 10 2007

Really great style.. 5 stars. I've tweaked it a tiny bit to show the "videos being watched right now" but I'm wondering if there's a way to change the object to work with the background.

artfuldodga said on Nov 08 2007

Looking good again, but something is up with the Arrow in the About portion of the page, to me its repeated 11+ times though the About This Video text.
Still 5 stars though :)

Julius said on Sep 12 2007

The Upload video screen background needs to be changed. All text is invisible now.
Other than that: GREAT style!

Kwan said on Aug 15 2007

Diddle said on Aug 13 2007

It's a great skin, I like everything grey/black, so thanks. :)

I found a bug though. On the searchresult page, the links on top (user profile, history, etc) are missing.

DaleD said on Jul 23 2007

This theme no longer works. The top "tabs" are now buttons are are in blue with light grey text colour that is unreadable. But the style is awesome otherwise :P

bluesuga said on Jul 20 2007

what rude DaleD down there is trying to say is:
this style is great but youtube had some changes including changes on "your account page" hopefully vC will have some time to fix this soon thanks

eerational said on Jun 15 2007

I love it, especially since it matches my WindowBlinds skin, but for some reason the little box under the video (for ratings, sharing and posting videos, etc) has a white background while the text is gray, rendering it rather unusable :( Could it be because I have Greasemonkey scripts installed to aid in my downloading videos from Youtube? Apart from this problem (which seems to be limited to me only), this is an excellent piece of work.

J44xm said on May 28 2007

Thank you very much for the excellent updates!

Sasani07 said on May 09 2007

I love it!!

BudsieBuds said on Apr 02 2007

Click the "Upload New Video" button... lots of things not black in there. ;)
Nice script, though.

Linchpin said on Feb 23 2007

I'd like to change the background of the main page "Your subscriptions" box. Managed to change some parts of it by pointing to classes, but the main background requires probably something like body>table>blabla and I don't know how to figure it out from the page source. The box appears only if you subsribe to some users. Oh, and there's a new box over the featured videos list. I'm looking forward to an update of this, already great as it is, style!

Kingsley said on Feb 22 2007

monocongo said on Feb 16 2007

nake89 said on Dec 22 2006

Great but on the personal page.

The youtube logo clearly doesnt belong there.
5'd anyway.

J.K. said on Dec 19 2006

Take a bow! - Improves the site all over.

cAkE said on Dec 09 2006

I like it! But when the authors post a comment, on their own video, their comment's header is hard to read (white font, yellow highlight) Still, classy all-around regardless!

rd001 said on Nov 24 2006

Love all your styles. Google, Google Vid, Google Images, YouTube. All excellent style sheets, better than the original sites by far.

m&m_limited said on Nov 20 2006

Gorgeous - This dark gray is perfect, neither too dark neither too light - Elegant. Nice work, thanks.
