Post subject:  MythTV Menu Ratio
Can someone tell me what the aspect ratio is for the myth menu. I am displaying it on a wide screen tv and if I stretch it to the size of my screen it distorts the menu. So, I have decided to make it the height of the TV and then deal with bars on either side of the menu. However, I want a little distortion as possible so I want to match the default ratio of the menu. If I know this ratio then I can set my horizontal to match the vertical I currently have.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

The UI? It depends. Most of them are 4:3 but there are 16:9 widescreen ones available too. You do realize that you can change this in the Appearance section under the settings menu, right?

Hey tjc, you always seem to be the one helping me :D

I was trying to make those changes in the appearance menu by adjusting the horizontal and vertical numbers. However, when I made those changes it was stretching the image. The menu I am working with must be one of the 4:3 ones (I'm using Blue). I haven't found a menu I like better than Blue so I'll probably just stick with having bars on the sides. I really like having seperate icons for each menu item instead of the representation that every other gui seems to have.

There are a couple of "after market addon" themes available that are designed for 16:9 widescreens. Visit the MythTV themes page at http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Category:Themes It only lists two but I know that I've seen others. E.g FrazeIHD (http://www.myth2ipod.com/) Googling for "mythtv widescreen theme" should turn up more.

FrazelHD still isn't complete, correct? There is still no download link on the site for it. I just wanted to make sure that I wasn't missing something.
