Works as advertised. When switching back from theatre mode to regular mode, there's a huge space at the top of the page left behind.

Works great, but when I return to default view it throws me to a blank page which I have to scroll down from which is a bit annoying Thanks for the quick fix, upped to 5 stars :)
