YouTube changed the description box below the video on the watch page.
This script tries to revert to the old proper description style layout as well as the one without the side bar. Now removes the "glowing" background and buttons background.
Note:
Install if your description has changed to the compact version or the 'show more' button opens in a side bar and you want to bring it back.
There is no need to install this if you still have the original behavior (Unless you want to be prepared).
Known issue:
After installing the script, description and comments might disappear.
This is because Youtube is still doing changes to the condensed layout (these experiments haven't hit any of my accounts).
Until I'm hands on and can see what is going on, there is pretty much nothing I can do to fix it.
For the time being, disable the script to not lose base functionality.
Also please send feedback directly to Youtube that the new layout is hard to use or w/e (think of something, be creative). Maybe even Tweet at them (@TeamYouTube).
Additional:
In versions prior to 1.1.0 I had a wider description expander button (shown in screenshot 'after').
If you like it, you can install that as a new userstyle using Stylus extension,
here's the code:
#meta ytd-video-secondary-info-renderer,
#primary #meta .desc_toggles { border-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.125); padding-bottom: 0; border-bottom: none; }
[dark] #meta ytd-video-secondary-info-renderer,
[dark] #primary #meta .desc_toggles { border-color: rgba(255,255,255,0.125); }
#meta ytd-expander.ytd-video-secondary-info-renderer,
#meta ytd-expander.ytd-video-secondary-info-renderer > * { margin-left: 0; }
#meta .desc_toggles { width: 100%; border-top: 1px solid; border-radius: 0; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; margin-top: 1em; background: linear-gradient(rgba(0,0,0,0.02), transparent); }
[dark] #meta .desc_toggles { background: linear-gradient(rgba(255,255,255,0.02), transparent); }
#meta .desc_toggles:hover { background: rgba(0,0,0,0.03); }
[dark] #meta .desc_toggles:hover { background: rgba(255,255,255,0.03); }
#meta .desc_toggles .desc_text { margin: 0; padding: 4px; }
I urge anyone that downloads this script to send feedback directly to Youtube telling them that the new layout is hard to use and that you simply don't like the changes. Maybe they won't go through with the terrible redesign.
