Edit: After the september 2017 youtube design update it doesn't work anymore. Old review: Actually works, and doesn't interrupt playback. (Does require a page reload on first install though.)

Default shortcut for "w" is to change the transparency of subtitles backgrounds.

Cool idea but has one very annoying bug. Works fine in standard mode, but when activated in cinema mode, the screen goes black and when I scroll down I can see it switched me back to standard mode, so I have to click on windowed fullscreen again to make it work.

add auto enable for crying out load is that too much to ask?

This one actually allows me to scroll down to the description, comments, etc. while it is toggled. It also didn't mess up Youtube's fullscreen mode, so I can still do the aforementioned scrolling. It's buttery smooth, and I love that the developer is communicating with users that have reviewed the extension. Excellent work! August 19th, 2023: As of now it has stopped working. Using this extension only toggle's Youtube's theatre mode.
