Automatically hides the top and bottom bar when paused. Makes it easier to read text on the top/bottom that is normally hidden by the controls.

Installation:
Using Stylus (Firefox/Chrome) install this css script.

Limitations: Doesn't work in fullscreen when paused because the cursor only goes away when the video is playing. If you have a multi monitor setup this would be a non-issue since you can just move the cursor to the other display.
