Problem Description

When Sponsorblock Seek bar colors are enabled it makes the Buffering progress bar nigh impossible to see (see attached pictures).

Proposed Solution

  1. Split the Seek bar horizontally for segments where both Sponsorblock and Buffering are present and put one above one below
    2)Put a vertical line like a typing cursor at the end of the buffering bar to mark its endpoint
    3)Cause the Buffering bar to change color/darken when overtop sponsorblock to increase visibility.
