Donavan, I started looking over minimalist-wide, and I can appreciate how much effort goes into getting a theme "just right". Are you planning on finishing that theme, or is it going to get transitioned to LxM? If Titivillus-osd were setup on a 1280x720 foundation, would it fix the line-spacing of the show description?
