You tube is testing a new design that turns the bar of controls along the bottom edge of its video player transparent. The change in the video player is rolling out slowly but if you are a intent to get it now, you can do this by editing a cookie in your browser. Here's how to do it in chrome and firefox.
You'll need to install a cookie editor in chrome browser such as Edit This Cookie extension.
Head to YouTube and just click on the cookie button that Edit This Cookie placed next to Chrome's URL bar.
Scroll down and search the line for VISITOR_INFO1_LIVE and click on it to expand it. In the box value, replace what's there with Q06SngRDTGA and then click on the big green checkmark at the bottom to save your changes.
Refresh the you tube and you'll see the changes in design. The bar with video playback controls is transparent and it disappear when you move your cursor back to the video player. It also remains visible when a video is paused.
In firefox browser, you don't need to install an extension, you need to open a page only with youtube and copy and paste a bit of code. On windows, hit Shift-F2 to call up the developer console. On a MAC, hit function shift-F2 to call up the developer toolbar or go to tools => Web Developer => Developer Toolbar.
At the bottom of the firefox toolbar, copy and paste this code: cookie set VISITOR_INFO1_LIVE Q06SngRDTGA and hit Enter.
