As most of you have probably noticed, there have been some recent updates to the Mythbuntu theme in both 0.25 and 0.26. As I've recently taken over developing the theme and been receiving patches from people, I wanted to put a reminder out where things needed to go.
Bugs - Theme bugs can be discussed here, although I'd much rather have the discussion in a bug report on Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/+filebug). One thing is for certain, the bug will NOT get fixed without a Launchpad bug report, so file a bug report. New/Changed Functionality - Up to this point, I've applied all patches locally, tested, and as long as it worked and I wasn't completely against it I committed it to github. I'm going to start being a little more picky in patch acceptance for new features/changed functionality. If you submit a patch that changes functionality or adds new features, it should probably be attached to a mailing list thread here. The Mythbuntu team reserves the right to commit patches we see as a good change with little or no discussion (eg. if we see a patch on the list and it makes sense we'll probably just add it, no need for a bunch of red tape) Patches - It's easiest for me to take merge requests on github, however I'll take patches here as well (or attached to bug reports on Launchpad). A patch should only change 1 portion of the theme (eg. changes to the OSD and video menus shouldn't be in the same patch). If there is a good reason that multiple things are getting changed in a single patch, I'll might accept it, but it should be a good reason. Patches also need to come with some description of what was changed. An example of a good way to list what is changing in a patch is below. recordings-ui.xml * Use brightness to clearly tell the user where current focus is. * Related to the above, actually make the cursor work like a cursor! No more leaving a copy behind in the left pane while browsing on the right. (Brightness is used to still indicate the active entry in the unfocused pane.) * Remove scrolling from category display (last holdout of the brief scrolling experiment). Instead use multiline and a smaller font to hopefully gracefully display categories no matter how (reasonably) long they might be or what language they are in.
