<blockquote type="cite">Hi: I've been running 0.27 on my laptop
for a few weeks, and yesterday
<br>
installed it on my main box. I'm puzzled by the differences
that I see.
<br>
<br>
Both builds were from Richard Shaw's SRPM of 19 Sept; the
laptop running SL6
<br>
with extensions, the main box running Fedora 18. Both have
mythcenter-wide,
<br>
usually running in a kde-managed 1024x576 window.
<br>
<br>
On the laptop the WatchRecordings screen looks essentially
unchanged from
<br>
0.26; when I fired up the main box that screen was virtually
unreadable
<br>
because of a FanArt background, which I have disabled by
editing
<br>
/usr/share/mythtv/themes/MythCenter-wide/recordings-ui.xml, as
suggested
<br>
recently here.
<br>
<br>
But there are other differences: I now have a 'disk usage'
indicator, the
<br>
recording starttime is quoted from the published schedule
instead of system
<br>
activity, no endtime is shown, some of the thumbnails are
clearly
<br>
download-based, and scrolling in the left-hand panel no longer
goes in both
<br>
directions from the starting point.
<br>
<br>
The new screen is (now) crisp and attractive but I feel little
need for the
<br>
artwork downloads and preferred the old timing info and
scrolling. Maybe
<br>
I'll grow into it, but mainly I'm puzzled by the fact that the
differences
<br>
exist. I haven't yet compared the theme files.

<br>
Why not? Virtually everything you mentioned is done in the
theme.

diff -rq MythCenter-wide_laptop
/usr/share/mythtv/themes/MythCenter-wide
<br>
Files MythCenter-wide_laptop/recordings-ui.xml and
/usr/share/mythtv/themes/MythCenter-wide/recordings-ui.xml differ
<br>
<br>
and that is the file I had edited to supress the fanart background
<br>

I am a mythcenter-wide user also. The differences that you describe
are the differences between mythcenter-wide 1.6 and 1.7. Perhaps
the laptop theme didn't get updated to 1.7?<br>
<br>
I also noticed that on my machine, if I made a mistake editing
recordings-ui.xml in 1.7, the layout reverted back to the 1.6 look.
I don't know if that is expected behavior or something to do with my
themes cache. Maybe the laptop's recordings-ui.xml is corrupted or
has an error in it.<br>
<br>
I too, have edited recordings-ui.xml. I don't know much about
theming, but I managed to restored the ending time and fixed the
cursor so that it wraps around at the top of the recording list back
to the bottom like version 1.6 did. I have not removed fanart, but
have considered it.<br>
<br>
Also in 1.7 the start time was taken from when the listings said the
show started, not when the recording was actually started. Say you
started a 30 minute recording manually 10 minutes into the show.
1.6 would show 7:10pm - 7:30pm. 1.7 would show 7:00pm (and no end
time). I changed 1.7 to show what 1.6 did.<br>
<br>
If you want a copy of my recordings-ui.xml, contact me off list.<br>
