			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So previously i made a post about YouTubes&#8217; &#8220;Turn Down The Lights&#8221; feature, which when it was first online was very&#8230; very&#8230; very poor, now however i have noticed that the nerds at YouTube have obviously pulled their fingers out and got it sorted so it (almost) works as intended in all browsers.</p>
<p>Now lets get the &#8220;almost&#8221; out the way&#8230;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-282" title="youtube_lights_almost1" src="http://dansgalaxy.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/youtube_lights_almost1.jpg" alt="youtube_lights_almost1" width="500" height="104" /></p>
<p>Yes they have still left the button position all messed up!! (if you take a look at the previous post I even demonstrated how this can be fixed!)</p>
<p>But alas, no it&#8217;s close but the no smoking ban means its no cigar.</p>
<p>I do want to post a few screenshots of how they have improved the feature and do a little comparison too.</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-256 alignright" title="blog_youtube_lights_2" src="http://dansgalaxy.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/blog_youtube_lights_2.jpg" alt="blog_youtube_lights_2" width="271" height="173" />So originally the page displayed like this when YouTubes&#8217; &#8220;Turn Down The Lights&#8221; feature was activated.</p>
<p>As you can see the gradient looks crap&#8230; and there is the random floating &#8220;promoted videos&#8221; title, which as you can see below is still floating randomly in the background.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-283" title="youtube_lights_almost2" src="http://dansgalaxy.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/youtube_lights_almost2.jpg" alt="youtube_lights_almost2" width="500" height="230" /></p>
<p>So they seem to have sorted the background fade which now <img class="alignright size-full wp-image-284" title="youtube_lights_almost3" src="http://dansgalaxy.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/youtube_lights_almost3.jpg" alt="youtube_lights_almost3" width="355" height="140" />looks much better, they have also fixed the problem with the pop over message when you hover the button so it doesn&#8217;t mess up the background gradient after you have hovered over it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> Overall i think they have made some good improvements to how the feature works and looks in IE7, although there are still some basic things which need sorting, like the floating &#8220;Promoted Videos&#8221; title, and the alignment of the button and video title, both of which are pretty basic and can be sorted with a little time and a skilled programmer; which YouTube has.</p>
<p>So come on YouTube get this together! Nice idea. Poor execution.</p>
