[mythtv] Ticket #8309: MythCenter and MythCenter-wide Themes use inappropriate fill colors

[Newbury]

Oh I agree. I filed 8306 not realizing that the Droid font had been  
chosen specifically for the spot it was in. Daniel pointed that out  
quite quickly as you responded quickly. So I was shot down quickly. As  
in 'crushed'. My ego can take it. (sniff)

I had NO expectation that these would be applied outright. A couple of  
weeks ago I commented about this use of green backgrounds and someone,  
it could have been you, pointed me to where to start. I figured this  
would be the best spot to post the proposal.
Where else?
