plugins.click_to_play complain

[franti...@gmail.com]

Hello

I'm using Nightly and I find current click_to_play ui horrible and unlogical.

People set this preset to get rid off an annoing blinky flash based stuff on web pages and then you ship it right to the browser. Every time when I hover to enable flash player on YouTube I'm dying a little inside.

Make it transparrent please, or at least solid.

Thank you for attention.

I'm not sure what you are trying to say. Are you objecting to the visual
appearance of the new click-to-play placeholder? When designing the UI,
we tried to balance having the UI blend into the page in its default
state, but still provide visual clues and reaction if you mouse over. It
was important to increase the opacity for readability over many
different kinds of background, but that ended up making the appearance
too jarring by default. Thus the current compromise with low opacity by
default and higher opacity on mouseover/focus.

Why not use the newest Flashblock? It now blocks HTML5 and Silverlight
the same way it treats Flash. You can click a placeholder on any of
those media and have that item load and play. The only downside is that
the newest Flashblock blocks Ogg media. There is not much of that
around anyway, so I consider that worth the tradeoff.

Yes, I meant that new appearence. The problem with that new animation - it triggers the same feel as flash advertisements. Besides security purpose, I enable click_to_play to expect less moving stuff on web pages, so I think you would understand my frustration.

But I'm already found a solution

:-moz-handler-clicktoplay .mainBox {background-color: transparent !important;}

This simple sample of code almost comletely fill my needs. Would be nice if you suggest me another features of click_to_play UI that I can change through userContent.css, cause I'm not a coder at all and looks like really bad at googling.

I'm just happy with click_to_play functionality. It works great for me, appearence is the only thing that I dislike.
