Thanks. But I think we are better off without that border and title.

The beauty of css:
Code: [Select]
.elk_videoheader {
display: none;
}
;)

Got it. Index_light.css , also need to set the .elk video  element's border a 0 px.

A small suggestion:

this "custom.css" (or even custom_light.css) are there to let you do changes to the aspect of the forum without having to touch the default file.
That way, if for any reason the default css changes you don't have to worry about re-apply the changes. ;)

Just to note, one nice thing about the way it works is that first shows a clickable preview thumbnail of the video.  Once the image is clicked the video is embeded in to the page to play.  This is a bit less overhead for the page load.

Without the header you can't hide the video, but thats not really very important, and indeed the border is a bit uninspired !

Err, Sorry if I should not say this, Vanilla does it without header (IIRC).

Missed that one. Great! I will try to use it with my support board when I upgrade it to ElkArte 1.0.0 the next days.  :)

Yep, it's quite helpful if you want to change few things without having to create a new theme.

I like the idea of having a custom css file ;) Great!
