Now the video player OSD is black. It would be great if you could make an option where I can change that. Or maybe there already is, but I couldn't find it. Thanks
First off, you're right, there's currently no setting for the osd colouring of any kind. However, there are some considerations to be made. First, the upper set on infos is a mish-mash of content re-used in many other parts of the skin, so any tweaking there would require quite a bit of overhauling, and I'm not sure on just how nice large, near-transparent text would look on during video playback.
Second, while it shouldn't be too much trouble to add something like it, I'm worried about the potential for bad colour combinations and the consequences for overall legibility. A bad combo of accents and main colour coupled with a near-transparent or ill-coloured back could quickly render things unreadable.
Basically, I think it might turn out to be an interesting option to have. I'm inclined to keep the colours and the top elements as they are, but perhaps add an option for the OSD and info-on-pause that's semi-transparent (off the top of my head, something like 25-35% seems appropriate)? Perhaps even add an opacity slider of sorts? These are all just projections of course, as I've no idea as to how good it would actually look, and a lot would depend on that.

That sounds great if you can add such an option. Thanks in advance.
