Hello Robert,
sad to hear that you have concerns about my theme and the eligibility for
the competition. I do have borrowed the look of the buttons and menues and
some icons from graphite. If I find a good idea/replacement for the look of
the buttons I might change them, but not before the deadline.
My primary interest was to create a theme that looks modern and complete.
I have looked at all themes and they all lacked some important screens
(mythmusic, now netvision, ...) and had some misalignments in the layout or
look and feel. But this is only my opinion and no offense at all.
I know it is up to you and the other devs to decide weather to allow
blue-abstract to take part in the competition. Other than that it would be
nice to see this theme someday included in the themes that get shipped with
MythTV.
Best regards
Robert S
