I noticed issues with the background painting right away - hard to describe but it shows fuzz around the menu text and there's extra dark areas that slowly change after making a selection and then stay steady.

Is it antialiasing?

I'm not sure what this means. I could guess, but IDK.

>Secondly, the menu font is probably 50% larger than it used to be.  The word Mythbusters in the recordings column used to take up about half the column width (as I can see on my other frontend) but it now takes up at least 2/3 of the width.  (Obviously, other show names are longer but since your screenshot shows Mythbusters, I thought it was a good comparison.)

That picture you previously referenced was an older version. I posted
it in response to someone else since the part they were asking about
hasn't changed. I've just pushed a new preview image, so take a look
at that one.

The theme chooser doesn't show older versions as an option and while I did find them on github, I've got no idea what I would do to get a specific version from there or what I would do if I did get it.

You could, but if there are issues I'd rather try to fix them.
