Description

Just wondering why is it that there's no option to be able to configure the OSC and Seekbar/Timeline Colors?
I wanted to do it and was able to cook up some styles for myself but had to edit and change some of the code in the osc script file directly.

OSC

But I still had to spend an hour tweaking to get the stuff to work properly considering I don't know the lua language... this would've been a quick job if it was possible to do it via the conf file.

I think many people would appreciate the additional customizability.

Research direction

Start by locating mpv's OSC Lua script and reviewing how its current colors are defined and how configuration values are read from the conf file. Check whether existing OSC or Timeline/Seekbar behavior has related tests or documentation. Done means users can configure these colors without editing the script directly.
