No, it's not a bug, this is something I've just changed locally. I
didn't like the centered popup menus, so I moved them all to the upper left.

I think I can get used to the size - it *is* more readable on my smaller
displays. I think it wouldn't look so big/bright without the white
color. I checked an older version and only the highlighted recording
was bright, but now they all are. The main menu is similar - I'm not a
fan of the whiter menu items and clock compared to the older, muted
color. But maybe it helps with visibility for others due to the contrast?

Key: ! patch, ~ sorta, * not attempted. I've attached the diffs, but I
manually split them up. I can do it more explicitly tonight if
necessary. The diff is from latest git as of this morning.
Main menu:
* bigger, whiter menu items a little too bright
* items seem closer together due to font size
Recordings Listing:
! "12:31 AM" doesn't fit in the 3rd column (gets ellipsis)
! date and time are a bit close together (eg "3/23 11:00 PM" looks
like "3/2311:00 PM")
* All recordings are bright white, whereas previously only the
selected one was. I know the clock also changed to white. I prefer the
more subdued grey, especially in a dark room.
! minor - the last item in the recordings list nearly touches the
bounding box - the list is not centered vertically in the box
Program Finder:
! 3rd column date/time doesn't fit/gets ellipsis
Recording Rules:
* cols 2-4 shifted down relative to col 1 and highlighting bar
~ date/time too big on many items
* callsign doesn't fit on a channel-specific rule (eg KXXX-DT truncated)
! priority "-2" doesn't fit
* line-spacing seems a little tight
Previous/Upcoming recordings:
* Col 1-2 too small for most values
* line-spacing seems a little tight
Guide during Live TV:
* On exit of guide, menu flashes before video returns
* I think this dates to v27, but when paging up/down in the guide,
the grid refreshes a slight bit before the channel #/icon sections.
! Subtitle rarely fits
System status:
* line-spacing seems a little tight
diff-recs.txt: I resized the columns a bit and also adjusted the
vertical centering of the recordings box. I tried to use the same left
offsets as the recording groups items.
diff-finder.txt: I adjusted the font for the date/time column since it
was much bigger and also shorted the box so it didn't touch the right
side. (I had a tough time changing the font without including all the
states - maybe there's a better way?)
diff-rules.txt: Shifted columns to fit more text, but things still
aren't right. I'm not sure why the text is shifted down, either.
diff-clock.txt: Restored the clock, adjusted title and subtitle. This
is one of my existing personal tweaks as I really like having the clock
visible. Technically a descending letter on a very long title can just
overlap a bit with the clock, but I've never seen in in action, so I
never adjusted the boxes to be strictly exclusive. Subtitle now has two
lines and fits more text.
