Shiba Progress Bar for YouTube

Change the progress bar for Youtube from a boring red color to a bright and cheerful rainbow color.

A progress bar is the heartbeat of every video, yet on YouTube it has looked the same for more than a decade: a thin red strip that crawls across the bottom of the player. Custom Progress Bar for YouTube swaps that utilitarian line for a seven-colour rainbow that fills in real time, topped by a cheerful Doge sprite surfing the leading edge.

Benefits at a glance Higher engagement – A splash of colour and a moving mascot create a tiny dopamine hit that keeps lectures, tutorials, and meetings from feeling like a slog.

Accessibility boost – Users with red-green colour-vision deficiency can struggle to see a pure red bar; the multi-hue design improves visibility without diving into settings.

Branding for creators – If you record screencasts, the rainbow bar becomes a signature viewers instantly recognise in your videos.
