Another suggestion would be justification settings for text area's
(left|center|right). Also it would be great if the setup screens scanned
the themes directory for osd themes instead of just listing specific
themes. This would stop from having to patch the source to add a theme.
You probably already thought about that though.

I'm assuming you can use pixmaps for background in any container.  I'm
going to work with this stuff some more tonight and try backgrounds on
the channel numbers as well as working with the edit screen a little
more.

Yup -- still working on it.  Here's my todo list:

Pixmap based indicators for the dialogs.
Multiple ttf font files.
Sizing the channel logos.
Move more of the edit mode positioning and stuff into the config.

Anything else?  Your stuff looks nice, btw, and it's nice to see that
you 
figured out that a pixmap was allowed as the background for the dialog
box =)
