I've made some changes to the Mythbuntu theme for 0.27. Only to the<br>
recording and video (browser view) screens. I did this to try and show<br>
more fanart. Here are some screenshots<br>

Notice on the first two one is with the group highlighted, the other<br>
is with the recordings highlighted. The recordings shift to the left<br>
side when active in order to show the description on the right.<br>
<br>
The last one is the mythvideo one, it still shows the fanart on the<br>
complete background, but for some reason it didn't grab the background<br>
when I did the screenshot via SSH<br>
<br>

Thanks,<br>

Thomas Mashos<br></blockquote><div><br><br></div><div>Hi Thomas,<br><br></div><div>Firstly, thanks for this theme. I have been through every single one during my time with myth and yours is the only one that works right for me. But I see these changes as a move away from this and more like some of the others I didn't get on with that well. Just one users opinion of course!<br>
<br></div><div>On the recordings screen, this seems like less fanart, rather than more? At the moment, with a recording selected, I get a screenshot, "DVD" type cover and the large background image. On your screenshot, only the large background image is shown now. This is like most other themes, that don't show these other images at all, which is a real shame. With transparency etc I can still see the large background image fine and think it is better as background, behind the main text, rather than being centre of attention.<br>
<br>Current recordings screen example - <a href="http://i.imgur.com/AyA5BOg.jpg">http://i.imgur.com/AyA5BOg.jpg</a><br><br></div><div>Also, having only 5 recording items shown rather than the current 11 would make things harder when scrolling through a long list on a remote, over running what your after and then scrolling back up for example? Think I would have to try this before dismissing completely I guess, but as mentioned above, having transparent text over the background image is fine in my opinion.<br>
<br></div><div>With the videos screen, I would just say the same as above, not having the screen filled with videos seems like a waste in my opinion and the reason I use your theme, as I think yours is the only one that does this right, by not having a single vertical/horizontal list of videos to scroll through, which would just take ages, but a full page, using all the space. But, to be fair, your new screen shows 13 items compared to the current 15 items, which makes 13 total screens compared to 11 (rounded up) on my largest folder which has 158 items.<br>
<br></div><div>Anyway, I know you haven't asked for opinions, but saw this post and thought I would send some anyway!<br><br>Cheers<br><br>Martin<br></div></div><br></div></div>
