Comment 3 for bug 905575

I disagree. A custom widget offers us 3 advantages:

* A consistent look across themes
* A way to display buffering (a grey, maybe #CCC, leading the current position)
* This is the way the best modern (web) video players behave. Hovering shows users the thumbnail preview for a given mark in a video, then single clicking takes them there. Having the nifty thumbnail feature you implemented eliminates the user's need to grab and manually seek the scale to figure out what happens at a point in the video.

Instead of white, perhaps the proposed widget should inherit an available color from the theme (blue for elementary?) so that we attempt to integrate with the look of the system a little.

This is probably not the perfect solution (may require a circle handle to grab or something at some point after 0.1), but it's closer than the implementation we and all the other guys have.
