And this is one of the reasons I haven't upgraded from 0.23 to 0.24
yet, regardless of all of the enhancements. From a UI perspective, the
OSD is different from the rest of MythTV. The OSD intrudes into the
show watching experience in a way that the main theme does not.
Therefore an OSD theme should be as unobtrusive as possible (like
BlackCurve is.) If I can't have BlackCurve as my OSD theme regardless
of the main theme, I'm not interested. I'm not going to upgrade to a
release where I lose functionality.
