No, it's not a bug, this is something I've just changed locally.  I 
didn't like the centered popup menus, so I moved them all to the upper left.

I think I can get used to the size - it *is* more readable on my smaller 
displays.  I think it wouldn't look so big/bright without the white 
color.  I checked an older version and only the highlighted recording 
was bright, but now they all are.  The main menu is similar - I'm not a 
fan of the whiter menu items and clock compared to the older, muted 
color.  But maybe it helps with visibility for others due to the contrast?

Key: ! patch, ~ sorta, * not attempted.  I've attached the diffs, but I 
manually split them up.  I can do it more explicitly tonight if 
necessary.  The diff is from latest git as of this morning.

Main menu:
   * bigger, whiter menu items a little too bright
   * items seem closer together due to font size

Recordings Listing:
   ! "12:31 AM" doesn't fit in the 3rd column (gets ellipsis)
   ! date and time are a bit close together (eg "3/23 11:00 PM" looks 
like "3/2311:00 PM")
   * All recordings are bright white, whereas previously only the 
selected one was.  I know the clock also changed to white.  I prefer the 
more subdued grey, especially in a dark room.
   ! minor - the last item in the recordings list nearly touches the 
bounding box - the list is not centered vertically in the box

Program Finder:
   ! 3rd column date/time doesn't fit/gets ellipsis

Recording Rules:
   * cols 2-4 shifted down relative to col 1 and highlighting bar
   ~ date/time too big on many items
   * callsign doesn't fit on a channel-specific rule (eg KXXX-DT truncated)
   ! priority "-2" doesn't fit
   * line-spacing seems a little tight

Previous/Upcoming recordings:
   * Col 1-2 too small for most values
   * line-spacing seems a little tight

Guide during Live TV:
   * On exit of guide, menu flashes before video returns
   * I think this dates to v27, but when paging up/down in the guide, 
the grid refreshes a slight bit before the channel #/icon sections.
   ! Subtitle rarely fits

System status:
   * line-spacing seems a little tight

diff-recs.txt: I resized the columns a bit and also adjusted the 
vertical centering of the recordings box.  I tried to use the same left 
offsets as the recording groups items.

diff-finder.txt: I adjusted the font for the date/time column since it 
was much bigger and also shorted the box so it didn't touch the right 
side.  (I had a tough time changing the font without including all the 
states - maybe there's a better way?)

diff-rules.txt: Shifted columns to fit more text, but things still 
aren't right.  I'm not sure why the text is shifted down, either.

diff-clock.txt: Restored the clock, adjusted title and subtitle.  This 
is one of my existing personal tweaks as I really like having the clock 
visible.  Technically a descending letter on a very long title can just 
overlap a bit with the clock, but I've never seen in in action, so I 
never adjusted the boxes to be strictly exclusive.  Subtitle now has two 
lines and fits more text.
