Changing default subtitle style - Buhhy - 2025-06-22

Hello! 

I've been trying to change the default subtitle style for jellyfin to be a bit bigger and have the color yellow without success.

Mainly i have tried to change the style.css in the custom css tab in jellyfin.
jellyfin-web/src/plugins/htmlVideoPlayer/style.css at 1918262a8f762a67fad227e1c1f438dafb9dca0a · jellyfin/jellyfin-web · GitHub

.videoSubtitles {
    position: fixed;
    bottom: 10%;
    text-align: center;
    left: 0;
    right: 0;
    color: #FFFF00; < Changed this to yellow from white
    font-size: 200%; < Changed this to 200% from 170%
}

But i see no changes when i play the video. I am using srt sub format for all my content. Also might be worth mentioning i'm running this on docker container on ubuntu.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
