Overflow menus cover control panel elements

YES

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
NO, I would like to suggest some Video player UI improvements.

Describe the solution you'd like

I want to suggest some UI improvement for the player:

1. The range element is a special input element so it might be better if the cursor changes to pointer when it hovers over any range input element.
   

2. The overflow menu overlaps the control buttons (volume, language, etc.) especially in full screen mode so I would
   suggest to shift the overflow menu a little bit upwards so it doesn't overlaps over the control buttons.
   

Both the suggestions can be implemented by minor changes to the .track() and .shaka-overflow-menu in the CSS.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Alternative solution would be to create own CSS file for each project to make these changes or use the browser built-in video player.

Additional context

@prophet-x How are you getting extra features in the overflow menu that is "resolution", "language" and "playback speed"?

(this is what I am getting to see)

[kamalmulani]

@sradhanjan I have used the shaka-player from the shaka ui library which has all these controls in overflow menu and they can be configured, you'll find more help in the tutorial docs about the shaka ui library and how to configure it.
