ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS:
Some graphics in this theme package are original graphics from the Abstract
MythTV theme by Michael Jay Sherman and from the Default MythTV theme from the
MythTV project. All other art-work for
this theme was developed by Texas Slim of LifeisnoStorybook.com - she only stopped
development to give birth.
FEATURES:
The following features, options and extensions have been considered in the development
of this theme;
- This theme supports the following MythTV modules; MythBrowser, MythDVD, MythGallery, MythGame, MythMusic, MythNews, MythPhone, and MythWeather. There is also coded, but untested, support for MythWebCam.
- The theme itself is of reasonable contrast, so as to sustain good readability. It has also been designed to provide the most consistent navigation experience possible, across all modules/plugins.
- The List View for MythVideo is recommended for the best mix of navigation and per-content item detail.
- This theme was tested successfully on MythTV version 0.18.1
- By popular demand, version 1.1 of the theme supports a visible row limit of seven (7) menu items. This removes the need for scrolling in the menu system.
