As noted the Droid font was intentional and I don't plan on changing
that as I've now tuned a large number of screens for that font. It's
freely redistributable and it has a similar feel to the original
MythCenter font (which had to be downloaded directly from a Microsoft
website on every machine it was used on and hence couldn't be shipped
by distro's along with MythTV.)

As for the colors.. there are some contrast issues and look issues
with these. My plan right now is to fix all the layout issues first
and deal with the colors last. My goal is to keep the original
MythCenter look & feel, but gain maximal functionality. The plan is
to backport the functionality parts to the default theme before
making the more MythCenter specific changes. I can foresee the color
choices being controversial and argument about it holding up the
more significant fixes, hence the ordering.
