I used to know where they were on the screen. I thought the organization of the settings was well.Now i feel like im looking at huge drop down's and my setting is hidden somewhere in the list of options.I feel like every option screen looks the same. Overall i feel like this is a regress in functionality.Im pretty experienced with the settings, but if i was a new user this setup would be frustrating to find anything.I dont know is this dependent on the theme?<br>

I agree! In my derogatotry way I have used the words “mobile phone set” to describe UI choices, but two important items:.<br>
<br>
1) The developers work on things and in ways that gives them satisfaction.<br>
2) Do most users think this is kewl, or they prefer the old UI?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Sorry you guys don't like it, but the old UI is gone. It was way to hard to maintain. It was also a nightmare for "themers".<br></div><div><br></div><div>The new UI is <i>somewhat</i> theme dependent, but not significantly. A default layout is provided by MythTV and then the theme can tweak it -- to a point. For the most part, all the themes just use the default layout but with some adjustments to match the themes color scheme. The only theme (that I know of) which tries to be at all different are the various incarnations of Steppes, but even it probably will not alleviate your complaints.</div><div><br></div><div>John<br></div></div></div>
