YouTube's web player finally emerged from the Dark Ages and got a 21st century-worthy facelift.

Gone is the dull, black user interface. Instead, you'll now see a shiny, transparent design that also includes some slick new animations -- so slick, in fact, that YouTube claims its new design is 'slicker than a squirrel on waterskis' (Hindustan Times could not independently confirm this fact).

The transparent player also includes new floating controls that look like they're a part of the video itself and not overlaid on top.
