I’ve seen this in a ton of video players. This is an especially bad example. But it’s so common for the entire top third of the screen to be blurred or darkened just to display a single small UI element in a corner. Stupid design.
The reason it’s especially stupid for Apple is because half of their new design system is about making content front & center.
- wpm 1y agoI love having to install Deno so I can run yt-dlp to download a video that I want to see a brief or small detail in when that small detail happens to be in the lower third of the video because when I pause, it puts a stupid gradient over the video or blocks it entirely with the controls. That's why the entire thrust of Liquid Glass was bad and dumb from the start. "The controls will get out of the way of your content....so we put them floating in front of your content" just absolutely braindead. There was a way to get them out of the way, give them their own space!
