I added the following bindings to my local_conf.py: EVENTS['menu']['j'] = Event(MENU_DOWN) EVENTS['menu']['k'] = Event(MENU_UP) EVENTS['menu']['q'] = Event(MENU_GOTO_SHUTDOWN) and this has made it a lot easier to navigate the menus. I had no luck trying to bind 'h' to "MENU_BACK_ONE_MENU" .. can't figure out how to unbind it from the "display help screen" event. > > > > 2.

No luck with this. I tried to change the geometry in freevo.conf but smaller pixel counts mess up the display and I got a syntax error when I tried to tell freevo where I wanted the top left corner of the window via and, e.g. 800x600+1200+20.. One thing I would like to do is replace the DejaVu fonts by M$ Verdana or Tahoma (or even their Arial Unicode) and also use much smaller sizes since after all I'm running Freevo on a laptop. The headlines plugin in particular should benefit by this. I don't have the time to create a specific skin but I think that I read somewhere in the doc that most everything can be inherited from a given skin, but I have not found how or where I can override the fonts and font sizes.
