[mythtv-users] Resolved: New MythTV feature - background image on list of recorded shows

[Dick Steffens]

So there were three recommendations for eliminating background images. I 
finally had time to try one of them. I want to try the other but don't 
have the time for it right now.

The one that worked was to find the directories with images in 
/var/lib/mythtv that appear to hold the images I've seen in the 
background of the theme MythCenter-wide:

banners
coverart
fanart

I deleted all the files in each of them and then changed the permissions 
on each of them to r--r-Sr--. That didn't eliminate the background image 
from any program already recorded, but it did stop showing them in newly 
recorded programs. Over the last couple of days we've watched and then 
deleted the programs with images as background in the program list, so 
now the list looks as it did before. There's still an image down in the 
bottom right corner, but I don't mind that since it isn't background 
behind some text.

When I get time I want to try the other two -- the revised version that 
has a lighter image, and the one that is a version of the theme that 
doesn't display images. But for now, this seems to be working.

Thanks for the ideas.
