I'd like to start a "things we like" section. It could be as simple as
having people email me mockups, screen shots and ideas (with a little bit of
text explaining it) and I'll throw it up on the site, giving the user
credit. It would be a great way for us to see what others are thinking and
to build off of those flashes of brilliance.
You can either send them directly to me (put mythtv-graphics in the subject,
so I can sort easier) or we can start a new thread here.
If anyone is interested, I'd be happy to oblige...
Nate

Hey, why not? it would have a limited scope, no doubt, but it seems like a
good idea. Perhaps asking Nathan Z. to devote a section of his site to
user-submitted pictures might not be a bad idea, since he's already
basically running a "what myth will look like in the future" site..

Hehehe. Touchy..

There aren't really many new "features" per se. But more and more is being
"themed". I suggest grabbing the default theme's ui.xml, copying your
theme's graphics into it, and playing from there.. You'll need to make a
bunch of new graphics, such as for the conflicts and things, but it
shouldn't bee *too* hard..
