Restore Progress Bar Legibility
In Playlist view, the actively played episode's progress bar is difficult to read. An inactive episode's progress bar in the same view has enough contrast between bar and fill to read progress.
The redesign introduced this diminished legibility.
The fill (played time) of the bar is not quickly discernable because it is too close in thickness, brightness and color to the bar (total time) behind it. The contrast here between the bar and background is dangerously low, too.
Higher contrast will give these components (bar, fill, and background) a clearer border, making them clear to the eye.

I have the same issue but in the notification tray. The progress bar is only slightly lighter than the surrounding background. I have to open up the now playing screen to decern the progress of currently playing item.
