I've been using this design today. I think it looks great in screenshots, and improves a lot of those issues, especially in show-notes view (which lets the content scroll under the glass ad capsule).

In practice, though, it has a fatal flaw:

It always looks like I have a notification. And that's very distracting when it's sitting on a counter as I do stuff and I see it out of the corner of my eye.

Which I never would’ve realized until I lived with it on my phone for half a day.

@marcoarment an #AD is basicly an unwanted notification, so I think you #NailedIt

Have you ever thought "Final Fantasy Tactics was such a banger" and looked around for a modern solution but come up with nothing? Well, we're giving you a sneak peak at Frosthaven on Steam, and if you squint really hard I'm sure one of these characters will look like Ramza. #sponsored #ad

Fans of the @FediverseSymbol and the wider fediverse should be pleased to note that my newly released Rainbow Rocket font (see up), not only supports the fediverse symbol, ⁂, but also has the colour palette Fedi based on the 5-node fedigram (which i think works better with darker backgrounds).

My Rainbow Rocket colour font released today (see up) includes a "Swiftie compatible" colour palette set. Colours taken from Swift’s albums, with the taylor R package as a starting point.

Represented are: TSSNTV - Speak Now (Taylor’s Version), RedTV - Red (Taylor’s Version), TS1989TVSB - 1989 (Taylor’s Version) Sunrise Boulevard vinyl pressing, and TSLover - Lover.

Swifties, follow and DM for a 100% discount coupon for the TS zip (4 fonts).

FEVER DREAM reversed out over a stripey background made from the colour of the Lover album. It's a quite a bright palette of custard yellow, sky blue, with a couple of pinks and a brown. The brightness of the yellow interferes with the clarity of the text.

TANGERINE NEON LIGHT reversed out over a background of stripes that are largely beige, but with an accent of strong red and deep blue. Those colours are taken from the jump on the cover of the 1989 (Taylor's Version) Sunrise Boulevard vinyl pressing.

LINGERING QUESTION reversed out on a stripey background of the Speak Now album colours (the purple ones). It's a nearly symmetric up-and-then-down gradient of purples from lavender to almost black. Except that one stripe has been taken out, because it made the whole thing too dark.

Rainbow Rocket is here! A self-striping colour font family with 21 colour styles, some for free, some paid for. Shapes based on Arugula (an earlier font of mine that also means "rocket"); colours based on a variety of mostly found things.

Here i show examples from my Garden, gifted toys, and a font specimen i found at the Letterform Archive.

Share and Enjoy! (please boost)

"Rainbow Rocket / A colour font / from CubicType" is display in all caps, reversed-out on a very stripey background. A variety of pinks, cyans, and oranges make the stripes on the top and bottom portion of the background, the centre band of the background consists of vertical yellow and pink stripes, similar to the stripes of a Battenberg Cake.
