I wrote some custom CSS to make the currently playing song in Youtube Music easier to find from the playlist view:
ytmusic-responsive-list-item-renderer[play-button-state="playing"] {
background-color: #d0f1cf;
}
ytmusic-responsive-list-item-renderer[play-button-state="playing"] * {
color: black !important;
}
I use Stylus Firefox browser extension to apply custom styles.
