Description
Expected behavior of the wanted feature
MPV offers a couple of different OSC layouts within its osc.lua file.
I noticed that MPV does not provide any simple basic style OSC by default.
I am suggesting to add a new simple "bottombar" style layout.
This simple layout would just consist of a couple of elements already included in the default OSC so no new graphical elements would need to be created.
It would just display the timecodes & seekbar on top of black background rectangle with its height just slightly taller then the seekbar itself.
It would look similar to the following
00:00:00 |===============SEEKBAR===============| 00:00:00
I was wondering if any of the developers/other users would be interested in adding this to MPV?
Thank You

Research direction
Start with mpv's osc.lua file and inspect the existing OSC layouts and their reusable timecode and seekbar elements. Use the proposed bottom-bar sketch to define the layout, then verify that the new style displays both timecodes and the seekbar over a slightly taller black background rectangle.
