yes it could know it: get active window, check whether it's fullscreen. But
this wouldn't work if the video player is not active (e.g. multiple screens) or
if the video player sucks (using override redirect window).

Personally I think we should neither adjust the representation nor add a config
option for it. We had quite some discussions about it and decided that the
proper layer for the osd is to be on top of everything including playing
videos. We will never be able to please everyone. I think it's totally valid to
show the OSD on top of a playing video when changing the backlight.
