Feature description

In the news list: If an video has not been watched yet, show its title in a bolder font style.

Why do you want this feature?

This feature makes it easier to distinguish between watched and unwatched videos.

Would be nice to have the ability to "Mark all as watched" instead of just "Mark as watched" for a single video too. Once you refresh subscriptions you lose the current format for unwatched videos which is a dashed line.

+1 justification;

Change display to ITALIC if has been watched.

CNN difficult to tell if watched!

Hello! Could I work on this :) ?

[opusforlife2]

@Dylan-Turner Sure! Before doing anything though, could you explain how you would like to do this?

[Dylan-Turner]

Thanks @opusforlife2!

I'm planning to make some very small edits to the StreamMiniInfoItemHolder.java class which applies the red watched bar so that when the watched bar is applied the text is also italicized as suggested by CheifMikeK. To satisfy the original request by MatsG23 in the case the video hasn't been watched it will be displayed in bold (also by editing this class). This should keep it's application consistent with when the watched bar is displayed.

I wasn't sure if the bold was overkill, so here are some examples with only italics:

And here is an example with both bold and italic (the first video is watched):

Do you have any feedback?

[MatsG23]

In my opinion, bold and italic font is an overkill. All I wanted to achieve with this issue is a distinction between watched and not watched videos, so italic or bold would suffice.
I think only bold font for not watched videos would be ok. Could you provide an screenshot only with bold font style too?

[Dylan-Turner]

Here's the version with only bold (for not unwatched videos)

In my opinion this seems like the clearest option, what do you think?

In other apps , items that are 'dealt with' are greyed out. Maybe the text could be greyed out for the fully watched videos? And the incomplete red progress bar would be enough for partially watched ones? Then we don't need to do anything to unwatched videos.

Edit: the italics font looks really weird, and the bold one isn't much better.

I don't understand what's wrong with the current implementation. Red status bar is all YouTube app has. I use the "what's new" tab for subscription videos and filter for unwatched there. Only thing I wish there was is a "Mark all as watched" option.
