</div>Also, you can create or copy one of the menu theme files into<br>
~/.mythtv/ and the frontend will pick up that file instead, so you<br>
don't have to modify any installed files.<br>

I saw those files initially but was not sure which one to change since none of them matched the main menu content I see in the theme?!?! Should I copy over and edit all of them or the mediacentermenu is the right one? It's not a big deal but just trying to understand which theme uses which file. I guess I should change all of them if I want to make the change global.</div>
