How might the blue theme's background be changed just slightly?<br>
<br>
I am trying to use GIMP to edit the file, background.png, changing <br>
the color from blue to anything different enough to distinguish it<br>
from the original shade. But GIMP is way too complex, and its tutorials<br>
too complex as well, so I thought I would ask if anyone has found a<br>
way to change the color.<br>
<br>
The goal here is to continue using the blue theme, on multiple MythTV<br>
systems, but be able to easily identify (from the background color)<br>
which MythTV system is the one being displayed on the TV screen.<br>
<br></blockquote></div>Outside of this discussion, a kind person
skilled in the use of Photoshop sent me several copies of the MythTV
background image (background.png). Each copy has a different
color, making it very easy to tell which MythTV system is being
displayed on the TV screen.<br>
<br>
Separately, I used KDE's KolourPaint to add a small rectangle to the
background image. Then, I entered the name of the MythTV system
into the rectangle. Once positioned properly, with large enough
font, the name remains visible until Watch TV, etc., is selected.<br>
<br>
Between the two methods, the different color background is quite a bit faster at signalling the brain which system is which.<br>
