Is there a way to disable the reflections?

Is there a way to disable the reflections in the guide and video menus? They are distracting and sometimes the wrong reflection from a different image when there are several images randomly shown for backgrounds in the preview pane sometimes the reflection is from a different one of the same show.
Great job on this fantastic theme.
Thanks

Maybe in the core not sure we didn't add anyway to. As for it being the wrong reflection that should be fixed In the next build.

Here is a theme, put the unzipped "Diamond Simplified NO Reflections" folder in the main Themes folder and select from Settings/Advanced/Theme.

Not automatic, but works. If you want to use a different theme without reflections just open the theme.properties file and change the parent theme to be whatever you want, just type the name exactly the same as the theme folder you want to use.

I must be missing something. I dumped this into the theme folder and selected it under the setup menu, but I still am getting reflections and they appear to be bogging me down on the HD100. I rebooted the server and everything. I am just trying this theme on the HD100s but on my server I am using another theme (winter / red).

Did this work for you guys?

Send me an image of where you are still seeing the reflections so I can tell what is going on.

Thanks,

Sorry for the delay, Jorton. I have been away on travel, and now back for just a few days.

I don't have a great way to capture an image, since it is on my extenders. I could simulate with the PC server I suppose. However, it essentially creates reflections in all of the usual places in spite of selecting the "no reflections" theme. It creates reflections in the videos, tv guide, my recordings list of recorded shows, etc.

Not sure exactly what to do next. I LOVE Diamond on my server, but it is killing my HD100s. I tried to leave Diamond on just my server and select the standard theme (default with SageTV) on my extenders, but it seemed to just crash the server and reverts back to Diamond on the extenders. I might have to just uninstall until I get an HD300 purchased, unfortunately.

The HD100s are getting a little dated especially when you start throwing mass amounts of fanart at them. Plucky has made some changes in the next version that may help but not sure if it will solve all you problems.
