bug(youtube/theme): seekbar is white and not red when device dark mode is enabled

Bug description

I use ReVanced Manager 1.4.1 to patch YT 18.23.35.
I select the "Theme" patch.
In all previous versions of the patch, the timeline right under videos used to be RED at all times.

Now the timeline is RED only when interacting with the timeline, otherwise in normal state it's WHITE.

Could you please revert the "Theme" patch so the timeline is -always- RED ? (while it has focus, no focus, interracted with or not..)

Thanks for your support.

Steps to reproduce

Patch YT 18.23.35 with ReVanced manager 1.4.1, select the "Theme" patch.

The seekbar showing as white is a newer YouTube feature. If you exclude the theme patch you'll see the seekbar is white when device dark mode is enabled.

If you want the seekbar to show red all the time, then change the seekbar color to any shade of red that is not #FF0000 (such as #FE0000, or #FF0001)

I suppose the seekbar color could have a parent switch to enable/disable the custom color.
And if the switch is on then the seekbar never shows as white in dark mode (even if the custom color is #FF0000)

Thanks for your reply and these advanced details!
Could I maybe mod some file on my end to force always RED somehow ?
I'm using ReVanced Manager, system is not rooted.
In my case-use Theme will -never- be excluded so this simplifies things ?

The only option you have is to use any color except #FF0000

Go to ReVanced settings -> layout -> seekbar, and change the color to #FE0000. Then it'll be red all the time.

Excellent, it works! Thank you very much.

You have no idea how much I needed this comment in my life. Really.
