The menu bar(not sure what to call it) on the videos has changed from white to black. This seems to be for all videos.

They have updated the video player so it has a darker bar. That's all they have really done to it.

Yeah, if by some strange occurrence you haven't noticed the exact same change on every Google owned page(the top-bar)... that's what's going on. Google is just updating the look of it's products from all white to have a little variance.

I just wish Youtube would make that Lights-Out feature they added for, what was it, Earth Day or some such guff, permanently. Having that obnoxious white webpage go black when watching a more-often-than-not shitty-contrast video would be luvverly.

Youtube changes something like once a month at least, usually doesn't improve anything at all and just confuses and annoys people for a little bit. Then we all get used to it and move on.

I wouldn't mind it if they changed the whole site to a dark grey theme.

Kinda like http://www.wowheadnews.com/

This is probably part of a transition to the testing layout that's in testing right now "Cosmic Panda" I've been using the Cosmic Panda layout for a bit now and it overall makes the player darker, there's a more customizable video size option thingy, now the player has an area of its own and all the suggestions show up in a sidebar underneath the video, and you can see people's channel avatar next to their name in the comments. Those are all the most important changes there are a couple of minor things not worth mentioning. Overall its a very nice layout and I'd be perfectly fine if it became the default layout.

It happened within minutes of starting one video and then opening another in a different tab I was kinda confused at first.

It's been that way for well over a month for me...

That is odd, I've never seen selective updates on the net that only happen to certain people and then other people get it over time.

I had a feeling something was going on when the little bar that says how much of the video's loaded went missing. I still can't see it.

Nor have I. I'm not suggesting this has happened. I just know that youtube have had a black bar for well over 3 weeks.

I'm in Australia, maybe there's something in that. Any Aussies want to confirm/deny that they've had the black bar in youtube for a while?
