[mythtv-users] A new MythCenterXMAS-wide theme has been added to the theme chooser

[Paul Harrison]

It's that time of year again and to add the excitement and add a little 
festive cheer to MythTV I've created a new Christmas 2014 version of the 
popular MythCenter theme which has now been added to the theme chooser 
for master and 0.27-fixes users.

It simply adds some festive random backgrounds and animated snow as well 
as a Christmassy colour scheme. I'm still tinkering with it to get the 
font colours right and make some screens easier to read but I wanted to 
make it available now so others can try it before Christmas.

If you use master or 0.27-fixes version v0.27.4-26-gea73ed3 or later the 
background will change every minute otherwise you will just get a random 
background when the frontend starts.

You can add your own background images to the themes 'backgrounds' 
directory and they will be automatically randomly shown. If you have 
some nice backgrounds that are free to use then send them to me and I 
will add them to the theme.

For added effect search for HappyChristmasradio in MythMusic's Radio 
Stream player and leave it playing in the background while you use MythTV :)

If you spot any obvious problems let me know and I will be happy to fix 
them but remember the golden rule this is just a bit of fun and I know 
I'm bad at this sort of stuff so no need to tell me. If you don't like 
it don't whine just don't use it :)

Happy Christmas and Happy New Year to all MythTV users.
