new feature showed up in MythTV. 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></span></blockquote>

<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>
</div>
</div>

That sounds like what I want to do. I'll give it a try later today
after I've finished my work for the day.<br>
<br>
Thanks. !<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
