1. Can you add support for dark mode? Just change the text color to white.
2. And can you make a toggle button in short video that can hide the video meta description? Element class name is "metadata-container", add CSS `visibility: hidden`.

Thank you.

You're really making this easy for Meriel. Why don't you do it yourself?

There is a dark mode, ive made it already😂, and ill consider the second suggestion since its not that hard, but where to put the button will be a problem

Yes. I can do it for myself. I don't want to waste his time, so I help him as much as I can.

And thank for your time @Meriel, here is my suggestion:

  • About dark mode: window.matchMedia("(prefers-color-scheme: dark)").matches always return false. I'm using Chrome on Windows.

    You can try this document.querySelector('html[dark]') to check dark mode, maybe there are better ways to do that.

  • About hiding meta description, you can add a toggle button above the LIKE button or just making a hotkey for that.

but it works fine in my browser and im using chrome too, i cant test it....
v would be a nice hotkey, i'd choose v to toggle on and off of the instruction

and btw, i choose not to add the hideinst to the bar below, i think it doesnt have the same level as volume, speed and scroll, so i just add a shortcut key

Also hiding meta only works on the first video. You should change the code to:

document.querySelector("ytd-reel-video-renderer[is-active] .metadata-container")

Can you check both of them like?

const isDarkMode = window.matchMedia("(prefers-color-scheme: dark)").matches || document.documentElement.hasAttribute('dark');

there are no err in my browser so i cant test it, is window.matchMedia("(prefers-color-scheme: dark)").matches || document.documentElement.hasAttribute('dark'); appears to be good in your browser? if works fine i'll change to it

§

Yes. It's good for me. Its will check for matchMedia, if false, it will check for 'dark' attribute.
