Who in this day and age actually browses with the browser full screen? At first I didn't "get it" till I maximized my browser, then I saw it, but I never maximize my browser so it's not a real issue

download it and paste it into a plugin like stylish if its not working for you the way it is. I wouldn't bother personally but as I said before in the thread, it'd be easily done.

One thing I do love about the new layout is that playlists are now built into the video player. I hated the old playlist HUGE bar at the bottom, the video would start playing, you'd get the scroll at the right place then the stupid playlist bar would pop up and scroll the screen. It was also far too big.
I'm actually liking the new design TBH, just don't get the off centre thing.

Thanks, I installed GreaseMonkey and all is aligned centrally again :)

Is there a version for stylish? That doesn't seem to work with it. The 2 scripts on userstyles.org that I found don't seem to work either.

For anyone who liked uploads only, this is the direct link to it: https://www.youtube....subscriptions/u
I have youtube in my bookmarks bar, so I changed the bookmark from the homepage to that^

Now when I click it, i go straight to uploads :)

I'm aware of that and I was asking if you were aware of a version that works with stylish.

In any case Guth seems to be on the job. (Y)

there is no greasemonkey for chrome AFAIK ?
thats why I installed stylish when i was looking for greasemonkey a while ago.

Problem is, stylish uses CSS but greasemonkey can run javascript.

Youtubes body has a class of "site-left-aligned" but if you change that to site-centre-aligned it does centre. However, you need javascript to replace the class.
Im going to try just edit the site-left-aligned class with stylish and see if i can get it to centre.

I use Magic Actions to increase the width of videos and have them default to 1080p:

The homepage is still incredibly inefficient in terms of utilising screen space but that's unfortunately true of so many websites.

That video is not even centered on your screen, lmao.
