Steps to reproduce

1. Get a video with white background at bottom.
2. Share the video (public access).
3. Enter on the public URL access.

I have this same issue as well. Is there a why to change the playback controls to be a gray color or something other than white?

I would also appreciate a change of color. Especially because if I don't share the video and watch it while logged in then the player has much better controls:

I Solved the problem for me with editing the file videojs.js and changed the colors:
.vjs-control-bar {\n\tbackground-color: #000000 !important;\n\tcolor: #eeeeee;\n\tfont-size: 18px\n}

It would be nice if there is a way to do it via backend and without change code.

Same problem here, thanks to @japalie

similar to #41

a classical easy way solution would be to add:

• a gradient from top black (opaque) to lower black (transparent) (or reverse direction if on bottom)
• the gradient is about 60% of height starting
• the font in white is in the upper part
• so it will be always visible in any case: if background is even full white
