Why would that be needed? What functionality would be gained by doing that? It seemed to be a post asking why a change was done when I read it, but based on your description the MythBuntu Theme is the same as all themes were prior to 0.22, right? I for one like it the way it is. I would have a lot of complaints in my house if the right arrow suddenly didn't move the cursor over into the episodes pane on the watch recordings screen. I understand the necessity of a horizontal theme, but I don't understand why we would change one that does not necessitate that. Jeremy
