<div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">As I see it, you're making life harder than it has to be. You have two options:<br>
<br>
1) Improve WAF by altering the theme.<br>
2) Improve Wife by teaching her to use proper time. Seriously, what is<br>
this AM/PM garbage? There's 24 hours in a day.<br>
<br>
One of these things is probably easier than the other ;)<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>lol... of course it's easier to alter the theme. And I probably will. It just frustrates me that we are taking steps backwards when the clear disadvantage of Mythtv (vs other similar software like XBMC) is it's UI. Our themes need to be fast, flexible, and most importantly user friendly. Restricting one of the most user friendly themes to a 24hour clock (which requires extra thought for most people) automatically makes MythTV less user friendly by a small degree.</div>
<div><br></div><div>If we are going to package a theme with mythtv, as a community we need to be sure that the themes represent the quality of the entire product, not just the themer's work. I am certainly not suggesting that Terra be dropped as an "official" theme, only that it be improved upon. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Rather than forcing a 24 hour clock, perhaps they could display a 12 hour clock using HH:MM format.... most people know if it's AM or PM, most of the clocks in the world don't bother with telling us AM or PM. If that's not an option (due to a limitation of the software) then just make the space wide enough for the AM or PM to fit... would a few more pixels really hurt the overall appearance more than this restriction on appearance.</div>
<div><br></div><div>If there were hundreds of high quality themes to choose from, then I would be all for letting the authors have complete reign over their creations. But there are only a few "official" themes, lets see that they move forward and not back as they evolve.</div>
