Yes! is a qml-file not sure if it can be done to v.1.1.2 or if would work since I didn't test that version because I don't have a backup of that .deb
The qml-file to edit is NowPlayingPage.qml it's located inside
/opt/cutetube/qml/cutetube/

go to line 336 and delete
opacity: position > 0 ? 1 : 0
save the changes run cutetube and enjoy!

Ok I got good news guys a friend of mine had a back up of v.1.1.2 and I did the same to that file so I can also confirm that it works on that version.

edit line 348 on v.1.1.2
