QuickTime X to Change Look of Embedded Video Controls?

Apple may change the look of embedded QuickTime video controls with the upcoming QuickTime X software, according to an AppleInsider report.

The new design interface could drop the current gray palette and adopt a sleek, black look for the controls while viewing media.
