so i finally got around making a little tampermonkey script (technically a style, but i don't use stylus) to revert some of the changes made by the hellish new design. mainly: ALL corners are pointy again (um. including the loading circle thingamabob), dark mode isn't pitch black anymore, and those absolutely mind-boggling ugly playlist gradients are GONE:
// ==UserScript==
// @name ROUND CORNERS FUCK OFF!!!
// @version 0.1
// @description I DONT CARE JUST YEET THESE!!!
// @match https://www.youtube.com/*
// @grant GM_addStyle
// @run-at document-start
// ==/UserScript==
GM_addStyle ( `
* {
border-radius: 0px !important;
--yt-spec-base-background: #272727 !important; /* change if you use light mode! #eee is nice */
--yt-spec-badge-chip-background: transparent !important; /* video description */
}
#avatar {
border-radius: 50px !important;
}
.ytd-playlist-header-renderer {
background: var(--yt-spec-base-background) !important;
}
` );
it's rather hacky, and it still looks kinda ugly, but in a different way that's good enough so i'll just leave it be. feel free to improve it if you'd like ^-^
