new coke problems

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

Oh god.....I still don't understand how coke came out of that fiasco ahead of pepsi. Hell, I thought R.C. Cola would lap them.

It looks like the status bars window manager users tend to customize

[–] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 8 points 4 months ago

the new design looks like it came from ten years ago

[–] 01189998819991197253@infosec.pub 8 points 4 months ago

Looks like they just adopted material you design. It's a 'whatever' change for me.

The old and the new UI still auto hides controls and the seekbar and timestamp. I hate that it hides those! Besides remember when the seekbar showed where the Ads were in marking those sections in yellow? Good times.

collapsed inline media

This ain't a problem with PipePipe

[–] mr_satan@lemm.ee 6 points 4 months ago

Judging from screenshots in this article, it doesn't seem to loose or gain any functionality: all of the same controls are present.

With this in mind.
Who cares!? It's neither good nor bad. It's like the thing with playback line color. Yes, it's different, no, I didn't notice until some pointed it out, no, I couldn't care less.

I don't use the youtube app but I've hated every new redesign. Bring back the old ui

[–] MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 months ago

I don't think it's too bad. I can imagine those with some slight visual impairments it might've been awkward to see the buttons some times without a background for them

[–] tauren@lemm.ee 3 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

It's like the same but with a background color that has rounded corners.

stupid transcript button

[–] SilentKnightOwl@slrpnk.net 2 points 4 months ago

I don't think it looks terrible, but it does look like windows media player from 20 years ago.

[–] raod_guitar@feddit.org 2 points 4 months ago

Oh so is that why I sometimes have to wait for a minute now before I can play a video?
