Hi Justin.

Your theme has come a long way and is looking really good!

Some of the fonts seem a little off.  I did make sure I had Verdana
installed.  I grabbed a font package from here:

http://www.linux.com/howtos/Font-HOWTO/fonts.shtml

On the Watch/Delete screens, the fonts at the top seem fine, but the
show description font seems too small.  Also, the "box" for the show
description does not allow the description to use all of the screen
real estate, and actually cuts off some letters.

Here is a screen shot which illustrates this:

On the "Upcomming" screen, the font for the show description seems
fine (unlike on the Watch Recordings screen), but the show titles at
the top seem a little too small:

On the Watch Video screen, the upper left box which holds the names of
the previous level folders seems to cutoff part of the names.  This is
common to all themes, so there may not be anything you can do about
it:

Minor nit: On the show details page, the box could be wider to make
better use of screen real estate.  Also, you may note that the top
line of text occasionally spills outside the box:

If the "cursor" is in the left column of the "Watch Recordings"
screen, the graphics seem to be cutoff.  This screen shot also shows
that there is still not quite enough room if the Short Date is set to
"MM/DD DoW" format:

The system information box could be wider to take advantage of screen
real estate.  It also does not seem to allow information to actually
fill it:

It also cuts off some of the information that normally shows at the
top.  For example, this is what minimalist-wide looks like:

Finally, AVIA claims that I have less than 5% overscan.  Even with
that little, the Watch Recording screen barely fits -- I can only see
half of the up/down arrows.

Thanks for all the hard work.  What little I have done with themes has
taught me that they are very time consuming.
