Thanks Joey! I showed my wife your solution on my master BE (combined
BE/FE) and she was happy. However, when I try to do the same on my main FE
nothing happens:(

I Don't remember the correct way (if any) to modify a theme and have the
changes survive an upgrade, but I made the changes to schedule-ui.xml both
in the "Default" and the "Mythbuntu" directory. This did the trick on the
BE, but on the FE no luck.

Has there been recent changes in the Mythbuntu theme that could explain
this? My FE is v. 25.30 while the BE is probably an older version of the
theme.
