Hi all,
to get some variation from writing SQL patches, I looked into another of
my pet peeves this evening, GUI overscan.
Currently, the menus (especially in configuration) likes to extend to
the edges of the screen which is fine for a computer monitor but gives
problems on my TV (which is not completely square).
The result is this patch:
http://www.hardeman.nu/~david/mythpatch/gui-overscan.patch
which is not in a commitable state yet, but it should work
good enough for people to test it. The overscan setting is in the
appearance menu together with the display size settings.
What is left todo is to make the overscanned menus draw a background
which blends nicely with that of the main window (hard to explain but
you'll see the problem if you try the patch), and to make sure that it
doesn't break any random screens (only tested it lightly so far).
Feedback, testing and suggestions of how to fix the background problem
are all equally welcome.
Re,
David Härdeman
