I think it's very important to stay consistent throughout the theme.I'll 
try to complete the theme with the layout as is, however not having 
enough room in the right panel and the bottom one did give me some 
issues and I'll try to come up with a better idea for the different 
screens in the future.

"watch recording" screen - , you still have to go through the list of 
recordings to get to the one you want, as you go through all info is 
displayed in the bottom panel. So I thought it's not that important to 
have the same info displayed twice on the screen. that applies to most 
other screens as well.

The T, W etc are displayed only in the "Recording Priority" screen.. T 
is for "timeslot" and W is for "weekly" Is that what you're talking 
about? If so, it only displays one letter because that's all that MythTV 
is coded to display. It would require a patch to display full recorind

The menu always require scrolling. Depends on the number of menus on the 
screen. Mine is setup to display 5 items, if you want to display more, 
adjust it in the theme.xml
