I'm the author of most of the recent changes to the Mythbuntu
theme. (That means blame me, not Thomas Mashos, for anything you don't
like about them.)

Banner fan art was removed; background and cover were
retained. Complete changelogs are available, by the way, at
<URL:https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-mythtv/> (start with
August 2012) and/or the Mythbuntu theme Github at
<URL:https://github.com/MythTV-Themes/Mythbuntu/commits/master>.

You're both experiencing a bug with how the Qt painter renders the
animation functionality new in 0.25's MythUI, which the just-released
version of the Mythbuntu theme added. (Other themes, like A Forest and
MythMediaStream, also use the animation functionality.) I have two
0.25 frontends I test the theme on of different OSes, architectures, 
and screen sizes, but both use the OpenGL painter. Switch to it at
Setup|Appearances|Paint engine.

The eye is where it's always been, to the left of the recording
title. I can't explain why you don't see it; the painter doesn't seem
to affect it here.
