Description

PROBLEM: The player's UI has changed, it looks ugly

SOLUTION: An option to revert it back to the old one

ALTERNATIVES: Get rid of the black transparent rounded squares around the buttons

RELEVANCE / SCOPE: I speak for myself, obviously, but this new ui actively makes my viewing experience worse

"SIDE EFFECTS": If it is added an option instead of the default, I really don't see a downside. People who enjoy the new one can still keep it, and those who enjoy the old one get to keep it.

CONTEXT:
//
Thank you!

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the JavaScript implementation of the player layout and the extension's existing user-option settings, then determine how an old-layout choice would fit alongside the current UI. Done means users can choose between the old and new layouts without changing the default behavior.
