This is my second must have extension on a browser after adblock. Not only is the ambient light much better than youtubes, but it also completely declutters youtube when watching with "hide everything in theatre mode" enabled. I can never go back to normal youtube. This extension needs much more exposure!

EDIT: nvm...found your github and saw you fixed it and will already release it in 2 days. I wish I could give 6 stars. still a five star extension but there is a bug now ! When I enable the option to "hide everything in theatre mode" the layout is completely off now. The top margin is squished while the title of the video is now visible in the much wider bottom margin (margins around the video). I've tested this on a fresh installation of chrome and incognito mode just to confirm it's not the browser or any other extension messing up. Unfortunately it's probably due to the current rollout of youtube's "new and improved UI" -.-'. Would be very grateful for a hot fix if possible, since I use this extension mostly in this mode! edit 2: Maybe consider renaming the extension or adding more search terms like "better youtube" or "declutter youtube" "cinematic youtube (?)" because only 7000 users for this extension is criminal.

The extension messes up the colors of any video I'm watching. Are there any settings that can prevent this? Edit: Thanks for responding, Wessel! It was clashing with the BetterTwitchTV extension. Not sure how but I've disabled that one. Thanks for the help. I can't use YT without this extension on my OLED monitor. Edit: I spoke too soon. The issues have continued. I've disabled all my other extensions yet the issues persist.
