I did some rework on the recordings window to make it more usable: Added
labels with information about recording date, season & episode info and
title. The screen now looks like this:

As I needed to resize the panel areas to make the labels fit nicely into
the screen, I now need to adjust all the other windows, as they blend in
into the panel area to show fanart or preview image, in recordings-ui.xml
before I can publish.
