Comment:

 MythCenter is meant to invoke another popular media center's look and
 feel.  That other media center had (and the time MythCenter was written)
 blue backgrounds and green selectors, something MythCenter still has to
 this day.  These are fundamental changes to one of the default themes that
 are purely artistic in nature-- It's not unreasonable for us to make
 changes, but they need to be discussed first. (Alternately, you could fork
 the theme and modify it to your heart's content and distribute that)  I'm
 speaking as someone who has experienced the brunt of *many* complaints
 that legacy behaviors and looks shouldn't be changed simply because people
 are used to them-- these kinds of changes in themes that people can't let
 go of are sure to result in caterwauling, complaining, insults, and
 irritation.
