1. if the problem with one of my themes from my website (not SVN) is
image related, take a screenshot and email it to me with a description
of the problem
2. if the problem with one of my themes from my website (not SVN) is not
image related (e.g. a segfault caused by missing elements), email me
with as full a description as you can
For all issues relating to themes in SVN, open a ticket.
If you're running mythtv from SVN trunk, don't expect everything in
themes from my website to just work (tm). Myth has a nasty habit of
segfaulting when theme elements are missing, and developers have a
habit of 'breaking' old themes meaning that incorporating new elements
makes stuff weird for users of lesser revisions of MythTV.
With minor issues like text placement, area size etc, check you have the
right font installed (now Bitstream Vera Sans for all my themes) and
that you're running X at 100DPI. Sometimes running a -wide theme at a
non-wide resolution can cause problems too - YMMV.
As far as minor annoyances go - part of that for me is users coming back
wanting additions/changes I can't be bothered with because stuff works
for me ;) Still, it costs nothing to ask nicely & I might have a look.
Justin.
