mpv's default osd is genuinely illegible when there's too much going on in the background.
The default's should've been something closer to osd-box. Pretty much every program in existence draws some kind of opaque or semi-opaque box around text. But osd-box has other issues that make it feel like a half-compromise, such as the box size varying with the text, and the box overflowing off of the screenspace, lack of rounded corners... It seems like the devs understood this to some extent because the new select menu does everything that the default osd should've.
