### Describe the bug

As mentioned [here](https://github.com/FreeTubeApp/FreeTube/issues/5007#issuecomment-2286751724) in #5007, as it currently stands, on smaller screens (in my case, 1080p at 125% zoom, making it effectively act like an 864p screen), it is not possible to both have a wide enough window to have a full grid of four columns on playlist, channel and subscriptions pages, as well as a big video in theatre mode, and to see the video and playlist controls for a video without scrolling. The video control buttons are pushed down by both the likes count and the row the channel name is in, even if the former is turned off.

### Expected Behavior

Having them immediately below the space for the title would be very helpful on smaller screens. As for the playlist controls, swapping them with the progress in a playlist would help in reaching them, and some of the padding could maybe be reduced if that isn't unwise.

Would appreciate help here!
