Hopefully I'll get it wrapped up before .19. Donavan, I actually like Minimalist quite a bit. The *background* blue is a little too bright, on my TV, but most of the time I do not notice. I have actually spent a little time tweaking the positions a bit: Watch Recordings: * Cut indicator was too far right -- hidden under the preview if preview was turned on * Description box was far narrower than it needed to be when preview was turned off. Delete Recordings: * Description text was off to the left, and not tall enough. * Channel area was not large enough for some of my channel names. On just about every screen, the Selector Area did not provide enough room for a short date format of MM/DD DoW Set Priorities is a mess. Have not touched that yet. Not sure what you want that screen to look like. System Status screen could make better use of screen real estate, but once again, I am not sure what your plans are, there. I have attached a patch for the above changes. Thanks for another great theme!

Ok folks. As promised, I've been beavering away converting my ProjectGrayhem theme to wide. There are some screenshots over at www.juski.co.uk/pg-wide It'll be out when it's ready, and not before, unlike the last theme I bashed out ;) Thoughts, opinions etc to the usual place...

Steve Hi Steve. Thanks for the pointer, but I have no intention of changing any of the button graphics right now. I stated originally that the look of my theme was inspired by Project Mayhem 3 (hence the name) - there are obviously some elements of PM3 that are hard to replicate in mythtv. To get buttons where PM3 has buttons would mean having a much larger button area, and that might impact visibilty of the watermarks. At the moment my priority is to get the wide version ready, so.. back to work on that.

What does everyone else think? That's a great idea and one theme I'd definitely use. I second that. I'm using a 1280x768 ntive resolution TV, but I'm currently using a 4:3 ratio and stretching it to fill the whole TV. Actually most themes already look great like this anyway. I do think it might be hard to get a wide theme to look right in 4:3 by warping the images though, so good luck.

Do you have to have a widescreen TV to use them? How are they enabled? Thanks! Jesse, the new watermarks aren't (yet) in the 4:3 theme. You can easily add them yourself when I release the wide one ;-) Tip: they use the same filenames. I'd strongly advise that you don't use a widescreen theme on a 4:3 screen - the text area placement all kinds of things go wrong when you scale that much. Wide is based on 1280x720, whereas 4:3 themes are based on 800x600.

Yep, I briefly looked into doing a mythcenter-wide, but the amount of changes was pretty staggering I thought.
