Hello,<br>
<br>
I have to say, a job well done with the new Arclight there! Personally, this is the best new global theme yet, kudos to the author. :)<br>
<br>

<br>
Just a couple of suggestions or wishes:<br>
<br>
1) If you look at the screenshot, you'll see the LiveTV guide is not using all the screen-area it could. Would it be possible to move channel names completely to the left and have larger screen portion for the guide itself and fit in more time ahead?<br>
<br>
2) Then LiveTV preview in the corner - it's not scaled down. The picture is actually full-screen size and I can see just the view-size corner part of it. Other LiveTV guides scale the LiveTV down.<br>
<br>
BTW, I'm using VDPAU and today's SVN checkout. Because of VDPAU, the LiveTV preview is "blacked out" in the screenshot.<br>
<br>
On a different topic - I have to mod UI region definitions in every theme I've used so far, because none of them use the "allocated" screen regions to their full extent. I need to fit in longer channel names etc. so I size UI regions more tightly and expand them where possible. Without this, all OSD messages are cut off most of the time (even with the default font @ small settings).<br>
<br>
I'm attaching a mod for my current TV OSD theme, "metallurgy". Perhaps the author could commit it after a review? It's just a few minor modifications, a bit more economical. Some UI regions are enlarged to contain longer strings. Each region has at least a 5 "px" margin (instead of say 50) so no wasted space, but no ugly overlaps or touching regions either. Apart from that, program_info and browse_info have channel name & number added on the side and both look alike, so LiveTV channel info looks consistently with the browse mode. I defined a "verysmall" font, which may not be acceptable, but it can be safely removed and substituted by "smallgrey".<br>
<br>
Thanks again and see you around,<br><br></blockquote><div>Is this theme available yet? I've seen several people commenting on it and I thought it was still forthcoming. </div></div><br>
