Bug 163501 – [Modern Media Controls] Add a MediaControlsHost API to retrieve the shadow root CSS

• Component: Media
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Antoine Quint]

Now that user agent shadow roots support scoped styles, we should no longer inject the modern media controls CSS as a user-agent stylesheet but rather insert the CSS directly in the shadow root in a <style> element. By exposing a new API on MediaControlsHost, the JS code creating media controls could perform this task.

[Antoine Quint]

Antti added support for scoped stylesheets in user agent shadow roots with https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=163212.

We use early return, so the null page case should come first.

Returning "" is an inefficient way to return the empty string. The efficient way is:

    return emptyString();

> Source/WebCore/css/CSSDefaultStyleSheets.cpp:187
> +                    mediaRules = emptyString();

Because of the isEmpty check below, this means we will use the media controls user agent style sheet and the extraMediaControlsStyleSheet. Is that really what we want in this case?

extraMediaControlsStyleSheet is only implemented on GTK, and presumably the runtime flag for modern-media-controls will only ever be true for Cocoa, but it would probably be safer to only have extraMediaControlsStyleSheet if the modern-media-controls flag is off. Will change when landing.
