I really like this theme. It's great.

But does anyone know whether the channlel numers in the upper left corner are part of the OSD or belong somewhere else? The digits are a bit flimsy and I would like to have them a bit bolder. Many channels have their logo in that corner, which makes the number hard to read.

I agree, I like the bigger channel numbers of the defalut osd

I see some 'channel font' settings in the osd.xml file. maybe those are tweekable.

Code:
  <font name="channelfont">
    <color>255</color>
    <size>20</size>
    <size:small>16</size:small>
    <shadow>2,2</shadow>
  </font>

...

  <container name="channel_number">
    <textarea name="callsign">
       <area>20,20,200,27</area>
       <font>channelfont</font>
       <value>%CALLSIGN% - %CHANNUM%</value>
    </textarea>
  </container>

Yes, you can definitely change the font. I read this on the mythtv-user mailing list, I think.

Edit the osd.xml file in the isthmus folder (make a copy first)

Find the <font name="channelfont"> section. I changed <size> from 20 to 36 and <size:small> from 16 to 24. I also added <shadow>2,2</shadow>

I tried changing the font size and now it cuts off on the bottom of the channel listing and occasionally the right side. Why is this happening to me?

the channel display is in a 'contaner' on the osd. It was originally sized to fit the small font.

In the same file, search for channel_number container (line 65). you will see an area defined, this is the area on the screen. I increased the 4th number to 35. This seems to work for my adjust fonts of 32/24

Code:
<area>20,20,200,35</area>

Hi
I was not aware that my OSD was mentioned on this forum and I would like to thank you all for the fantastic feedback I got from you. I made this OSD simply because I thought that perhaps I could improve it somehow. Anyway, thanks and I will continue working on it.

Follow the direction of the page to install it..
Its really just copying the files to the right location and choosing that OSD in the setting>tv>playback

IMHO it is a huge step up from the stock myth theme. :D

its under setup > Tv settings > (and i think) playback.. there is an option for how long the OSD stays before dissapearing.

This is a nice OSD display. Wow, I just realized this thread is a year old. Ok, so it's not a brand new OSD anymore....

The installation is really simple. To avoid your permissions problems, untar the file with the orginal permissions using the p switch.

Move the isthmus.tar file to your /usr/share/mythtv/themes directory and untar

Code:
# tar xpvf isthmus.tar


This creates the right subdirectory with all the correct permissions.

Unix note... No need to move the tar file just cd to the directory and use the full path to refer to the tar file. Lets say you xfer and archive stuff like this in root's home directory. The sequence then becomes:
Code:
cd /usr/share/mythtv/themes
tar xpvf /root/isthmus.tar

This avoids leaving clutter in the themes directory...

Sorry this is a bit off topic but does anyone know of a theme that displays the current time in the menus?
