MythTV Minimal OSD

A new theme

Presenting a new OSD theme for Mythtv .23. Designed to be a minimalistic theme that covers up the smallest amount of picture.

Minimal is built for 16:10 screens and I don't really have any plans to make a 16:9 version. If your after a different aspect ratio post a comment and I might think about it. Tom Sneyers liked Minimal so much that he has made a 16:9 version. Visit his site to download.

Please Note

This has only been tested in MythTV .23 - The OSD theming for OSD's has changed significantly in .24 and hence this will probably break when its released. I intend to update this theme as well as my Glass theme when .24 is available.

    FWIW in .24 OSDs are chained to the actual UI theme-- ie, the UI theme provides the OSD theme, so the concept of a seperate OSD theme disappears, making it difficult to update any legacy themes since seperate OSD theme use is no longer possible.

    Thanks Robert, I was aware of that after browsing the svn... and thats why I plan on making entire themes once I upgrade to .24

    Really nice OSD theme! I'd like to use your version for the development of a 16:9 version for MythTV 23.1 (would be my first one) :-). Hope you don't mind!
