It appears that a frame of the show is now used as the background for the list of recorded shows. It's a nice idea for those who like that kind of thing, but it also makes reading the list harder, due to issues of contrast and color.<br>

Is this a feature that can be turned on and off? If so, where would I find that setting?<span class=""><font color="#888888"></font></span></blockquote><div><br><br></div><div>Hi Dick,<br><br></div><div>I had the same problem a few weeks ago following an update. This appears to be a property of the theme, and I did not see a way to disable it through the UI. I otherwise liked the look of the 'mythtv-wide' theme, so here's my hack to fix it (which you must repeat on each frontend):<br><br></div><div>1. ssh into the computer running mythtv<br><br></div><div>2. Type "sudo cp -R MythCenter-wide MythCenter-wide-mod" to make a copy of the original theme (this is on Mythbuntu, so your path may vary).<br><br></div><div>3. Edit MythCenter-wide-mod/themeinfo.xml and change the value of the <name> element to <name>MythCenter-wide-mod</name> (or whatever you like your custom theme to be called). I also updated the <description> element further down in that file to mention when I made the change and why (in case I forget three years from now).<br><br></div><div>4. Edit MythCenter-wide-mod/recordings-ui.xml file and comment out (or delete) the <imagetype name="fanart"> element near the top.<br><br></div><div>5. Go to Setup on the frontend and you should see your new theme appear. Select it, and the coverart should no longer be shown.<br><br></div><div>Note that the thumbnail image in the lower right corner will still show fanart when available (instead of a small thumbnail of the actual recording), but that didn't bother me so I didn't change it.<br><br>Hope that helps-<br><br>Tom<br></div><div><br></div><div><br> </div></div></div></div>
