 The layout follows [IINA's video-first window](https://iina.io/img/screenshot.png) and the supplied screenshots: a 32-point transparent titlebar with native traffic lights and file icon, plus a frosted 440 × 68-point floating controller. Conjure-inspired **Sunset** styling uses translucent dark-brown glass, warm cream primary text, sand secondary text, and a fixed orange accent for the volume fill, active pin, and drop target. Native slider thumbs and buffered ranges share the palette; warning symbols retain their semantic yellow. Shared vertical padding and an optical offset for symbol/slider insets balance the controller's visible top and bottom margins in both play and pause states. The controller starts centered with a four-percent bottom inset and keeps its relative position when the window changes size.
 
-The empty player uses the same tinted HUD-glass material, faint warm outlines, 12-point rounded corners, and Sunset palette in a centered welcome card. File and YouTube opening actions are separate, equally sized buttons with a 10-point gap and subtle orange fills. The YouTube button reveals and focuses an inline URL field below the buttons, spanning their combined width including the gap; Return or the arrow button submits through the existing YouTube URL validation. Other URL-opening entry points retain their dialog. The card fits the minimum window, and the full window still accepts media-file and YouTube-link drops.
+The empty player uses the same tinted HUD-glass material, faint warm outlines, 12-point rounded corners, and Sunset palette in a centered welcome card. File and YouTube opening actions are separate, equally sized buttons with a 10-point gap, subtle orange fills, and matching half-point sand outlines. The YouTube button toggles an outlined inline URL field below the buttons, spanning their combined width including the gap. Showing it focuses the field; hiding it releases text-input focus and preserves the draft. The field slides/fades in and out while the card adjusts over 220 ms with ease-in/out timing; Reduce Motion disables the animation. Return or the arrow button submits through the existing YouTube URL validation. Other URL-opening entry points retain their dialog. The card fits the minimum window, and the full window still accepts media-file and YouTube-link drops.
 
 With no media open, the full window uses native behind-window HUD glass with a 35%-opaque brown tint. Static, cached amber/rust radial gradients add ambient color only to the empty screen; they disappear during loading or errors, and are never drawn over video or playback chrome. Glass title/control/error surfaces use the same brown tint with half-point sand outlines. Decorative drawing does not intercept input. The idle Metal surface stays attached but hidden; opening media restores a solid black background and letterboxing without tinting the video, and closing it restores the ambient frosted background. macOS controls the material’s appearance, including Reduce Transparency.
