It took me a second to realize the change. XD Hmm. I don't have that on my videos yet. I guess it's fine as long as it doesn't get in my way, I suppose. Then again, I tend to adapt to change quickly, especially with Youtube changing constantly. It's pretty sad that I forgot that it used to look like that.
Oh god that old design. I'm going to die lol. Yeah, feather sucks. Way too light and bare. I tried out the HTML5 beta and liked it, but it would never let me change the quality of the video.
HTML5 wasn't too different visually (though function-wise it of course was), I can't even remember if I still have it enabled. The feather was okay in some respects, but what was really driving me insane was that there was no reply button on comments? Maybe I didn't look hard enough but... that's kind of important. lol
