Donavan,
I actually like Minimalist quite a bit. The *background* blue is a
little too bright, on my TV, but most of the time I do not notice.
I have actually spent a little time tweaking the positions a bit:
Watch Recordings:
* Cut indicator was too far right -- hidden under the preview if
preview was turned on
* Description box was far narrower than it needed to be when preview
was turned off.
Delete Recordings:
* Description text was off to the left, and not tall enough.
* Channel area was not large enough for some of my channel names.
On just about every screen, the Selector Area did not provide enough
room for a "short date" format of "MM/DD DoW"
Set Priorities is a mess. Have not touched that yet. Not sure what
you want that screen to look like.
System Status screen could make better use of screen real estate, but
once again, I am not sure what your plans are, there.
I have attached a patch for the above changes.
Thanks for another great theme!
John
