Hi,
Regarding commit
https://github.com/MythTV-Themes/Mythbuntu/commit/e45ae3c24065a46648d59069a2f7671ddb429755
, although I agree that it is a very good idea to make the cursor work
more like a cursor in Watch Recordings and avoid having two
cursor-looking things onscreen at once, I think the current
implementation could be improved.
1, At least on my TV with my brightness and contrast settings, when the
cursor is in the right column, it is very hard to see what the selected
item is in the left column. That is, the fact that one entry is slightly
whiter than another is not clear. Could instead a more obvious marker
stay in the left column when the cursor moves to the right? E.g. an
hollow outline around the entry, or an arrow?
2, I don't like the way that the previously selected item in the right
column retains a partial highlight when the cursor moves left. In other
words, although I do think we should leave a marker in the left column
when we move right, I don't think the opposite is true.
3, (Less important). I don't particularly care for the overall
brightening of the left or right columns when the cursor is in the
column. It makes the lists too bright for my eyes. In my opinion, the
fact that the cursor moves should be sufficient for the user - we don't
need anything extra to tell the user where to look. Just because we
*can* change colours like this in a theme depending on where the cursor
is, doesn't mean that we should.
Cheers,
John
