Does this work? Can I use the 6.1 STV over the 6.2 STV?
Or will the next version (when?) allow these extra icons and filter buttons to be disabled like the malore customization allows.

If not, what happens when I revert back to 6.1 -- I assume I have to use the backed up 6.1 wiz.bin, so there will be a few days worth of recordings that won't be there, etc...

Seems to work fine for me (see graphic) and all I did was load the STV. Didn't have to change anything else just loaded the earlier xml file.

No. Just use an older STV from the previous 6.1. You just lose any of the features, buttons, etc added since then. Always back up your wiz.bin before doing this but everything stays in place. Just name the STV something different so you know what it is.

If you enable the hidden features you can select other veiws for recorded shows.

I personally am not too crazy about the recorded shows view, it looks stellar but I think it's worse off functionally. I still prefer the mlbdude recordings style.

Thanks ... one more little problemo

The 6.1 STV works (ahh much clearer and quicker IMHO) -- as long as the xml file is in the same dir as all those graphic files. I did not restore that whole directory -- I just downloaded the STV xml file. So maybe that's why the secret/hidden mode did not work -- I get black background etc.. So I suppose the 6.2 install cleans out that directory. I guess I need to make a new dir, and restore the complete 6.1 STV there (I didn't see a download for that, so I guess I need to make a dummy install to get them).
