Lets look on the positive side. You should be happy that Myth is 
flexible enough to allow you to change things like the scroll wrap in 
lists or which start time is used or whether fan art is shown or whether 
end times are shown or ..... How many Media Centers do you come across 
that are that flexible?

If the people complaining (a small minority out of the 1339 confirmed 
users AFAIK) are serious why not get together and create a 
MythCenter-wide-Classic theme or whatever you want to call it. If one or 
more of you agree to keep it up to date we can add it to the theme 
chooser so anyone can use it if they choose.

The important thing is someone needs to take responsibility to keep it 
updated. It's not a difficult job you don't need to be a programmer it's 
mostly editing an xml file and testing your changes. You just need to 
keep an eye on the commits list for anything that requires changes to a 
theme and update the theme accordingly. There is always help at hand in 
the theme mailing list or irc channel if you need it.

This is usually where things go very quiet :). Developers are expected 
to work many hours a week on Myth but ask a user to spend maybe 1/2 an 
hour a month if that to help out and the excuses come flooding out :(
