<div dir="ltr">Hi Jean-Yves,<div><br></div><div>Thanks very much for your work on this latest mac frontend. Settings screens are now usable without having to press my nose up against the screen to read the fields! Yay!</div>
<div>The way I read your description, however, it sounds like the python metadata lookups should now work. But in, for example, the video library, the mac frontend still reports it cannot find metadata for films (that the mythbuntu frontend finds metadata for). Is there something else I need to enable to look up metadata?</div>

I’m not quite sure where to put this, but it’s related so I’ll keep it in thread.<br>

</div>I’ve compiled a frontend with your latest changes—thank you—and I notice that in the commit[1] you wrote:<br>
<br>
“A downside, is that the selection color appears to be misused in most themes including the default. So you can't tell if a text is selected or simply having focus”<br>
<br>
I don’t think it’s themer error. In qtlook.txt, ActiveHighlight defines both the background colour for a highlighted text box *and* the background colour for selected text. I’m writing my own theme, and can confirm that ActiveHighlight is the only place that the particular colour value I’m using (or anything even remotely close to it) appears in my qtlook.txt[2].<br>
<br>
Several values don’t appear to be used for *anything*.<br>
<br>
Is it just me, or is Qt—at least as a UI widget library—really, *really* frustrating?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Sam<br>
