[mythtv-users] GUI problem and lost recordings after changing themes

[kminney at telus.net]

I am using MythTV 0.20 which I installed using KnoppMyth R5E50.

I have some problems which came about as a result of changing the theme from 
the default (Titivillus) to Blue in setup.

After selecting the different theme MythTV went through a sizing/scaling images 
process and the new theme came up on the screen however the GUI no longer fits 
properly, I cannot see the text on the outside edges of the GUI. I tried 
switching back to the Titivillus theme but the problem is still there.

In addition, selecting a different theme resulted in loosing some of my 
recorded programmes from my previously recorded listings. I checked 
under /myth/tv and the .mpg's are still there but I cannot get them to show up 
in the listings any more.

I didn't want to keep the recordings so I am not too worried about that problem 
(although for this reason I will have to be careful about changing themes in 
the future) however I would like to get the GUI sizing back to the deafult from 
the original install of KnoppMyth/MythTV. I have checked and my xorg.conf, it 
has not been modified, so I cannot understand why the size of the GUI is now 
wrong.

Can someone please advise the best way to fix this? Is it to go into setup and 
set the GUI X,Y and overscan parameters?

thanks,

Kevin
