Or, put another way:<br>
<br>
A theme designed for a 16:9 aspect ratio will look right when displayed at 16:9 aspect.<br>
<br>
If you want a theme for a 16:10 aspect ratio, someone will need to design such a theme.<br>
<br>
0.22-fixes and above support the use of any base resolution (and, therefore, any base aspect ratio) for theme creation. Previously, MythTV only supported 4:3 themes with a base resolution of 800x600 and 16:9 themes with a base resolution of 1280x720. Now, thanks to the wonderful work done with the mythui conversion, it's 100% themer's discretion.<br>
<br>
Therefore, options include a) use a 16:9 GUI size and do not check "Use GUI size for TV playback" and then center (or top/bottom align) the GUI on your physical display with offsets (i.e. "letterbox" the GUI on your display) or b) create a 16:10 theme or c) get a display/monitor whose aspect matches that of the theme you want to use. :)<br>
<br>
Note, also, that if you're running on a 16:10 physical aspect screen, it's /critical/ that you tell X that you have a 16:10 aspect ratio (see <a href="http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Display_Size" target="_blank">http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Display_Size</a> ).<br>

Mike</blockquote><div><br>Thanks for the info fellas, thing is I use Twinview on dual monitors, the left one being a 16:10 LCD and the right one a 4:3 CRT, and I have the keyboard bindings set up to launch myth appropriately on either (I use -O XineramaMonitorAspectRatio=1.6 for the 16:10 screen and -O XineramaMonitorAspectRatio=1.55 for the CRT, and it was 1.4 during 0.21 but upon upgrading to 0.22 it had been strangely resized a tiny a bit...).<br>
<br>I played around with Graphite quite a bit but after quite some trying, the editing to the theme required is beyond my scope at this point and not really worth it as it's not /that/ big a deal. However I did grab Blue Abstract Wide and this is working out pretty perfectly. I was able to edit the base.xml font sizes down pretty perfectly so that every screen looks good on either my 16:10 LCD or old school 4:3 CRT monitor. However, a little thing I noticed I made a screenshot of if any of you can figure it out:<br>
