[mythtv-users] Various MythWeb nits and gripes---can I fix these somehow?

[f-myth-users at media.mit.edu]

I'm finding the colors in MythWeb listings page to be really garish,
and they sometimes make it very difficult to see if a particular
program is being recorded---a green border around a green box isn't
easy to see.  Is there any easy way (in 0.18.1 or 0.19) to change
or disable these, short of editing the CSS somewhere?  [If all of
these are addressed in 0.19, I'll just wait a month until it looks
stable & take a look then, but right now I can't easily tell.]

(The fact that they seem so entirely randomly-assigned, and that there
are 33 of them, doesn't help---how is -anyone- supposed to remember
all 33 of them?  Why is "children" bright red and "adult" burnt amber?
How come the list is -almost- in alphabetical order [reading across]
but "Movie" is way at the end? :)

[Is "Movie" what wins if no other category matches for a movie?]

Also, I see evidence in the archives that people often don't happen to
trip over the little explanatory map by waving their mouse over the "MythTV:"
at the far left; I wonder if there's some way to make this more obvious?

Similar issues with the scheduled-recordings page and -its- colors/outlines.
It's just really hard to read and the colors don't add anything, while
making it virtually impossible to scan it quickly without getting a headache.

And what the outlines/dotted-lines/etc mean (also in scheduled-recordings)
has to be reversed-engineered from the full listing; -that's- an
application where coloring the boxes might make things easier to read,
but only if the boxes aren't already colored by genre, and only if the
colors are arranged in some sensible fashion.  (Given a list of "types
of outlines" I could take a swing at what -I- think is "sensible" and
see if anyone else agrees... :)

[And it seems that every time I turn off the Duplicates and Deactivated
checkboxes on that page, they magically turn themselves back on the
next time I visit the page from elsewhere.  Does this mean that
something's still broken in my session stuff, or is this supposed
to happen?  If the latter, how do I default them to OFF?  The page
is -much- slower to load with them on, and I rarely want them on,
and -furthermore- I can't even turn them both off at once---I have
to click on one, wait and wait and wait for the page to reload, then
turn off the other, and wait some more.  And then if I leave the page
and come back, they're both on again!]

Also---the scheduled-recordings page doesn't seem to actually include
recordings that are -currently being recorded-, but only things that
haven't started yet.  This almost caused me to reboot the backend in
the middle of a recording 'cause I thought it was idle, until I checked
with mythfrontend (the "backend status" would also have told me).  This 
seems like a dangerous omission.  (It also once caused me to think that
something I'd schedule got missed, until I realized that it was still
being recorded by that the scheduled-recordings page wasn't showing it.)

Thanks!
