Youtube interface gets experimental redesign

The YouTube redesign brings with it a simpler interface, intuitive button layout, and darker colours being used to break up the mostly white layout we’ve become accustomed to. This lowers the contrast between the background and the video, making viewing easier on the eyes.

Channel customisation options are also on the cards, with four main layouts available:

• Creator: A video above a group of playlists.
• Blogger: A reverse chronological vlogroll of a playlist or your recent activity.
• Network: A video above a group of channels.
• Everything: a video above a group of playlists with a group of channels below.

There is also a new “Branding” tab under channel setup, making it easier to add background images and change avatars among other options.

Videos can now continue playing while you move between video pages, channels and playlists, although this feature is only available to Chrome users for now.
