Base.xml

The base.xml file serves multiple purposes. Firstly, contents of the base.xml file may be inherited throughout MythTV, so it is generally where all the base versions of all the widgets are defined. Also, it defines certain windows used throughout the Myth Interface such as progress bars, popup dialogs, and search boxes.
