[mythtv-users] OSD themes

A question and a tiny contribution:

What determines which OSD theme is used?
I was editing osd.xml to change fonts
and positioning for mythtvosd and found
that blueosd is being used regardless of
the theme selected.

Edits to the blue osd.xml, for osd.xml
newbies:

Bigger alert font for not-so-hot TV's
like mine.  Near the top:

  <font name="notifyfont">
    <color>255</color>
    <size>24</size>
    <outline>yes</outline>
  </font>

Raise the scroller above the bottom edge
to allow for a little overscan.  Near the
bottom:

 <container name="news_scroller" priority="20">
    <box name="background">
      <area>0,400,640,40</area>
    </box>
    <textarea name="text_scroll">
      <area>0,405,640,40</area>
      <font>settings</font>
      <scroller>yes</scroller>
      <scrollmovement>-3,0</scrollmovement> <!-- only
x movement for now -->
    </textarea>
  </container>
