Center the new Youtube layout with YT Native Center Layout
Hi guys,
today i would like to share with you this little extension for Google Chrome, that is called YT Native Center Layout.
What is it?
This extension will simply center the Youtube layout, as I personally didn’t liked it Left-Aligned, it look old-style and little professional IMHO ;) So, after looking at the Youtube DOM, i found a little trick to center it: in fact seems that Youtube staff did already implement a centered layout so it was as simple as changing in the <body> tag, the class “site-left-aligned” to “site-center-aligned”. In fact, this wasn’t all.
When you open a video, a little menu on the left appears (called Guide). This one, when website is centered, falled behind the flash player so i had to trick that also with CSS by manipulating the “left” property.
Last but not least, personally i never liked the “white-space” on the right of the video, when you look at it as Wide. So i tricked the CSS again to remove the fixed size and make it “100%”.
That’s all, and that’s what the extension do :)
Can i watch the source code?
Sure! You can see it here, as always in my GitHub Repo. And yeah, it’s Open Source covered by GPLv3 License.
Is is available anywhere, for example in the Chrome Web Store?
Yes, you can download it from here :)
That’s it!
Thanks for reading. If you liked this, please share wherever you want :)
