- Rated 2 out of 5by Murphmario, 4 years agoGood start, but still pales in comparsion to the original layout. Things I'd suggest that need to be worked on are the videos that show up on the homepage, removal of the community posts and recommended tags on the home page, and the channel pages.

posted 4 years agoThank you for the feedback! I'm currently investigating if it's possible to fill up the rows on the homepage, but as of now we are only getting the default number of video cards and then proceed to make the thumbnails smaller, which of course leaves empty space.
I, too, found the categorization of recommended videos better by far, but that's currently impossible to implement (at least as far as I'm aware). We would need to know which videos have which category to sort them appropriately, but YouTube doesn't provide them.
On the other side, I have good news for the removal of community posts: I'm currently working on the 0.2.0 branch (https://github.com/Cicero-Interactive/Classic-YouTube-Design/tree/0.2.0), which will for one also work with Chromium-based browsers and secondly it will give you a preferences dropdown where you can toggle the extension's features. This will later on be expanded, so you can precisely choose which changes you want and what should be left untouched. Stay tuned! And, of course, if you are aware of any methods to implement the fist two things you mentioned or want to contribute in general, feel free to do so and inform us on our GitHub page. - Rated 5 out of 5by LoneAlpha2401, 4 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by kropot, 5 years agoworks well, but it conflicts with the "enhancer for youtube" addon, as it overrides the colours selected by the themes. would be great if you could fix this
- Rated 4 out of 5by randomofamber, 5 years agoGood, but I would prefer old desing in Watch Page too. Is it possible to change this too? I know, other do not agree with me, so it will be fine if user can set type of Watch Page ... New (720p) or Old(480p) size of player. Thank you for consideration.

posted 5 years agoFirst of all, thank you for using our extension! :) It is still in the alpha phase, so many things don't work as of now or are not implemented yet. We are currently working on getting more subpages to work, but the watch page should already be mostly functional... Also, I don't quite get what you mean with 720p and 480p, could you please create a more detailed report with some screenshots here: https://github.com/Cicero-Interactive/Classic-YouTube-Design/issues/? Thanks for your patience!
