[13:38:06] stuartm: honest answers please, is this worth pursuing? http://miffteevee.co.uk/imagebin/concept_guide.png
[13:38:31] stuartm: I'm already starting to hate the colour and I might try something different but with the same layout
[14:13:59] stuartm: back to blue – http://miffteevee.co.uk/imagebin/concept_guide2.png
[14:54:44] jpabq: stuartm, why does it have to be one or the other. I think that might look good with the "green" at the top, and "blue" in the guide area.
[16:51:30] paul-h: stuartm: is there anyway to remove or force an update of a cached theme image?
[16:56:05] paul-h: MythUIHelper::RemoveFromCacheByFile() looks like it may do what I want
[17:03:10] stuartm: paul-h: that's what it's there for, but I don't know that it's ever been used

[18:31:49] Captain_Murdoch: stuartm, I actually like the green guide over blue guide2. both look good to me though.
[18:33:21] wagnerrp: its certainly more striking
[18:33:27] wagnerrp: the blue one looks a bit washed out
[18:34:32] wagnerrp: the white on bluish-gray just doesnt have enough contrast
[18:35:22] Captain_Murdoch: yeah, I was thinking almost the same thing, wondering if I liked the green one more for the contrast than the color.
[18:43:58] stuartm: I came up with the blue-ish version on the spot and carelessly saved the changes overwriting the green ...
[18:46:14] stuartm: I actually like aspects of both, the header bars don't quite work in the green but I think Captain_Murdoch is right about the contrast being better otherwise
[18:47:13] stuartm: I'll keep playing with it, thanks for the feedback
[18:57:51] stuartm: I quite like this design so far, it's not exciting but it does fill the niche for a clean utilitarian DVR theme, something you might expect in an appliance
