Mythui is anything in libmythui, all ui code in libmyth or libmythtv is old
and will eventually be removed.
So far only a handful of plugins and a single mythtv screen have been ported.
MythFlix, MythControls, MythGallery (partial) and Screen Appearance Settings.
MythUIImage is a widget for the display of images. MythImage is a wrapper for
QImage, the image data itself. MythUIImage displays MythImages. MythUIImage
replaces UIImage.
There are not direct replacements for all widgets in libmyth and with mythui
a single widget is more versatile, it can replace two, three or more widgets
from libmyth. This is to give themers a lot of choice over how they implement
a particular screen.

This was on my list as well, but it's a pretty big list so I'd welcome the
help.
