Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The current video player control bar (.z-controls) can feel cluttered, and key interactive elements like the Clip button lack strong visual feedback on hover/focus, making them less intuitive to locate during fast-paced streams.
Describe the solution you'd like
A visual and functional UI/UX refactor for the video player controls featuring:
- Intuitive Capsule Layout: Groups volume, timestamps, and controls into clean, organized modules.
- Enhanced Clip Button: Adds a clear micro-interaction with Kick’s brand green highlight (
#53FC18) and smooth spring scaling on hover.
- Stable UI & Tabular Numbers: Applied
font-variant-numeric: tabular-nums to prevent layout shifts as time updates.
- Performance & Mobile Ready: Fully GPU-optimized (zero layout reflows) with fixed touch-screen interaction states.
Describe alternatives you've considered
I have developed and published two implementations in a proof-of-concept repository:
- Production-ready CSS (
kick-capsules-native-en.css) with zero :has() dependencies or !important flags.
- Injected JS script (
kick-capsules-v5-en.js) for instant browser console testing.
