YouTube.com - dark gray redesign (vC)

Thanks for the latest update of 5 June 2009

http://www.valacar.com/userstyles/youtube.css

Update with following code

#default-language-box {
background: #282828 !important;
border-color: #444 !important;
}
#iyt-login-suggest-side-box div{
background: #282828 !important;
border-color: #444 !important;
}

That should take away the two white boxes :)

Regards

Craig

Update thanks.

No, this is not "dark grey". This is black my friend, black.
And it looks cheezy

Awesome, I really appreciate the updates and glad you released this latest version instead of waiting longer to fix more things. It is a significant improvement over the last release and looks great.

I appreciate the hard work. :p

Youtube's latest redesign does unfortunately break the site's layout when using this excellent style (particularly so if you have the "Well Rounded Forms" style installed as well). The stars for example are no longer showing up for me.

Great skin! The only "major" issue would be the Broadcast Yourself logo at this point.

This needs to be updated. Lot's of problems in a lot of places now. YouTube keeps changing stuff around and it's getting annoying.

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

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;
}

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.

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;
}

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?

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

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.)

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!

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!!!!

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..

Youtube homepage is completely changed. New boxes and sections.

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 :)

Very nice, thanks for updating it.

Yeah!... another fixed/restyled version here YouTube - Dark Carbon Theme .... ;)

I've also fixed this:
painted black - YouTube dark gray (vC) ADDON

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

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;

!important;
}

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)????????

Simply great!

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.

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.

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.

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:

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).

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

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.

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 :)

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

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.

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

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

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.

Thank you very much for the excellent updates!

I love it!!

Right on, thanks!

Excellent work

Great but on the personal page.

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

Take a bow! - Improves the site all over.

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!

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

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

could you get it working with: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/6198 ?

Much better look and feel! Also makes YouGet buttons blend in better. YouGet is http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/4032

Looks nice. Good job.
