Hey, I've sent you an e-mail with the screenshot. I've also attached a lighter version of the buttons, so you can see what I mean about them not blending with the site. Feel free to use them in any way. And also I feel your pain - I am more a graphic designer than a programmer - If I made those buttons myself I would have no idea how to code it :)

Hey palpatin,

I'm not a designer ;) sorry, but that's what comments here are for, so that you can tell me what i can make better
To 1. and 2. I will try to add some margin again, but with my screen resolution i need the place for the playlist (screen resolution 1024 * 768 (of course for me the whole place is than filled ;) but not for you ... i forgot about that thing)
To 3. I can't really imagine that, maybe you can send me a screenshot or something like that to my e-mail so i can better imagine it (i'm sorry, but my grafic card only can have a resolution up to 1024 * 768)
To 4. I don't have got a clue either why repeat doesn't work at your pc (i will make a hardcore test on mine today so maybe mine will crash to so i get an idea why it does so ...), that there is no button is due to the fact that my grafics designer has not designed one yet, but that will definetly come later like 5.
To 6. Also due to the fact that my grafic designer has no time at the moment this will come later, but it will for sure come!
To 7. nice script, i have removed that option (maybe i can link that script .... or somehow check whether it is installed)

My E-Mail Adress is beamgeraet (at) web (dot) de

Thanks for the comment ;) I'm always trying to learn and improve my scripts

Hey, I really enjoy your script especially when it is the only script adding a "repeat" button to youtube, which is priceless for me.
Sadly there are some MAJOR isues with the player (I'm using Mozilla +1280x960 screen resolution):

1. the script removes the left margin from youtube, so the video window starts at the left border of the screen which is REALLY annoying
2. Because of that there is a huge white space on the right (looks really bad)
3. In the upper right corner there is a box with the list of videos - it sits next to the page layout which again looks bad
4. Sometimes "repeat" just doesn't work - player plays the video a few times and then stops - have no idea why
4. The "repeat" button doesn't have an icon - everything else has but this one is gone, it's only written "repeat"
5. The "+" icon in the corner of the video thumbnails is too big - could be half the size
6. The player itself looks really nice but the icons - they look out of place, they could be much more minimalistic - "play" could be just a triangle (without the whole dark button around) etc.
7. Lyrics button makes no sense - there is a fantastic youtube lyrics script - look it up - which adds a drop down menu on the right of the video - it looks like it was made by youtube - you click it and can search lyrics on multiple lyrics sites without interrupting the video

That's it for now. Your script does some really nice things - but makes youtube page look very annoying. Honestly if not for the repeat button I would delete it right away because Youtube looks THAT bad with it. But when you resolve the youtube layout issues it will be a great script and a must-have on every machine for me.
