Hi all,

I've been having a crisis of faith with regards to MythTV recently. 
I've used Myth for over a year now, and it's spectacular.  My issues 
are with the interface, so instead of just complaining, I'm doing 
something about it.  I'm working on a new theme that I hope will 
scratch the same itch for others that I've been having.  I have a good 
friend who is running the Xbox Media Center on his hacked Xbox.  It 
looks good.  Really good.  So I was motivated to try and bring some of 
the look and feel of their truly amazing skins to Myth.

I have a suggestion, and perhaps Isaac or others can chime in.  We 
should have a theme contest.  I truly believe there are some great 
artists out on this list who want to help Myth but can't code.  What a 
perfect way to contribute!  So, here's my idea:

1) First hold a MythTV logo contest and come up with a snazzy 
"official" logo (or just use the one on the web page now).
2) Put logo on a cool t-shirt.
3) Hold MythtTV theme contest and give the winners free shirts.

I will gladly pay for production and shipping of the shirts (I've done 
several for my company).

So what do you all think?

Without further ado, here's a preview of my new theme:
