I hate to sound like a knocker, and for the most part I like the design, but I can see 4 problems with that theme 1) It's very dark. The unhighlighted menu items are quite difficult to read for speedy operation. 2) It's rather monochromatic. Black and white with a few blue bits is a little dull. 3) The menu6.jpg shows the blue theme on the screen, which looks a little out of place. 4) The next release of MythTV is planned to change the theming UI and capabilities. Perhaps they're a little premature, although obviously there is no indication of how long 0.19 will take. It'll be interesting to see how this evolves. -- Steve Boddy _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
