Zoom on the video player. That is the most highly requested feature you and other users want in the next Turn Off the Lights Browser extension version. As we said before, that Turn Off the Lights is the ultimate video tool, and that extends this promise.

You can find this new feature in the Turn Off the Lights Browser extension v3.4.3.0 and higher. Also, we have improved a few other things such as the compatibility with YouTube’s new layout and the action command to automatically dims the web page.

Zoom on video

How to zoom in a video player? To activate this feature enable the checkbox “Zoom on Video” feature in the Turn Off the Lights Options page > Advanced Options > Video Toolbar.

Then when you open a website with an HTML5 video player inside, move your mouse inside this video content. You see rights that it adds right a new panel. With one click you can zoom in, zoom out, rotate to left, rotate to right, move to the left, move to the right of the video content. And also on this panel, there is a reset button to get everything back to the default scale and position.

While you are in the Video Zoom Edit mode, the video player controls are automatically hidden. However, you can pause/play the video also in this zoom mode with this play/pause extra button. And when you are done, click on the green button to exit this zoom mode.

Automatically dims the web page

One of the first feature in this extension got also an update, now you can choose when to dims the page. This on the play, pause or stop button from that HTML5 video player.

Today we are happy to announce our up to date Chrome themes. We redefine the style and the dark Chrome theme look for your Google Chrome web browser. So it doesn’t disturb you and create no distraction in your productivity work. Now you can choose between three most gorgeous themes and with a bonus theme. All those themes will match well with our Turn Off the Lights Browser extension lamp icon.

Dark Chrome theme

The first one we created is a darker theme, that is not too dark. We choose the black color with a 80% opacity. So it is very coherent with the lights off layer (from the Turn Off the Lights Browser extension). You see that it extends the layer more out of the web view, and is a way to get less distraction from the other elements in the toolbar. It is called the Dark Chrome theme on the Chrome Web Store.

Black Chrome theme

The other theme is the Black Chrome Theme, this is the most complete black theme that is 100% black as background color. This from the titlebar, bookmark bar up to and including the window frame border. Where the arrows and settings buttons are in a white color.

While you as user can choose for the white lamp button of Turn Off the Lights Chrome extension, this will math very well with this theme.

Light Chrome theme

The light or white theme, create a brighter and a clean web browser. Where it feels more essential for day users.

Valentine Day’s Chrome theme

Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day or better know as Saint Valentine’s Day, and the last theme we designed especially for that day is the beautiful red Valentine’s Day Chrome theme.

You can download and try all of the above these free themes today on this web page:
