[mythtv] theme/UI request/suggestion

I was showing Myth to a UI-designer friend of mine the other day, and
the first thing he commented on was that there is VERY little visible
difference between "selected" and "non-selected" options in the various
graphical screens.  I'm inclined to agree with him, especially since
I've developed the habit of moving the selection around before making a
choice, to make sure that I'm selecting the thing I want.

This happens mainly in the icon views (tv, music, setup, watch-tv,
schedule-recording, etc screens) and the confirmation boxes for deleting
recordings (and wherever else these might appear).

Anyway, a little more contrast would be nice - even something as simple
as some desaturation (as well as the current dimming/transparency) on
unselected items would help with the icon views.

just a suggestion...
