IINA is only on macOS. I looked up linux alternatives but none of them seem to have similar looking UIs, at least out of the box. I want the player UI to float on top of the video + with a blurred background, it as shown in the image; or at least the ability to theme it like so.

    I am sorry to ask: Why such a specific UI need? And why do you want a field so big covering the image? I understand that apple likes to do this for some reason but I dont understand why?

      Seems fine if it only pops up with cursor activity or hovering. Agree if it’s permanently there though. When I use mpv, I have to configure it with some semblance of GUI controls or I’ll lose my mind.

      As for specific UI needs, I have went at length to seamlessly theme my desktop like NT 4.0. I could use a fully libadwaita-themed system if I had to, but it just doesn’t spark the same joy that makes working on my computer just a bit more enjoyable.

      Some people love whatever Mac/Windows does in UI for some reason. Most popular and downloaded themes on opendesktop.org are almost always whatever that resembles Mac/Windows for this reason.
