Hmmm... like this one? http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Category:Themes
About this new theme....
Sadly what follows is "great but..."
It's fantastic that you've taken the time out to make a new theme.
While MythTV isn't quite bereft of choice, new themes are welcome.
Now for the but...
I had a look at the screenshot and I was taken aback. Wait! I don't
have anything against the idea of the theme per-se, but I feel the
background image is far too bright & colourful - to the point where
the text and images are hard to make out without a lot of
concentration.
If I may suggest a few tweaks:
Turn down the saturation of the colours somewhat.
Decrease the image contrast and darken it a little.
Here's an example of what I mean:

I split it down the middle so you can see the difference. It's just
too bright otherwise, IMHO.
Anyway - keep up the good work - it's a very good starting point make
no mistake :)
Regards,
Justin.
