Description

PROBLEM:
The current OSD is functional, but can be better!

SOLUTION:
Make the OSDs appear like the native YT ones. Appear in the center of the video and with the same look and feel, maybe use the same code to gain animations.

ALTERNATIVES:
In a minimal approach, move the OSDs to the center of the video.

RELEVANCE / SCOPE:
I think in OSDs like volume and change in speed is important to have the visual feedback in the center because is the most important thing in the moment.

"SIDE EFFECTS":
Maybe an option with x and y to where the OSDs are postioned for the people that don't want to change.

Thank you all!

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the extension's OSD implementation and comparing its current placement and appearance with YouTube's native OSD. Done should include a defined visual treatment and confirmed behavior for volume and playback-speed feedback, with any positioning option explicitly scoped.
