I've got an xbmc/mythtv box setup for my mother (64 years old), and she
complains about the txt being so small in xbmc.
I did have her on the original pm3 skin, but because of the update that I did today, thats no longer an option.
So, as a linux user on the latest build, what skin would you recommend for maximum readablity for people with poor eyesight.
She is on a 50" rear projection tv with svideo input. Resolution is set for 1024x768.
Thanks,
later,
dabone

If it's compatible with the new version, then why is it uninstalled by default?

because we switched default skin, and PMIII isn't really a high definition skin, therefor PMIII was moved away because we don't want huge downloads with a skin that has a small userbase.

Also, not out until friday 4th Decemeber (this week), but Ellipsis is very easy to use, we've got a 2 year old who's able to navigate it with ease now due to its large icons and simple layout and navigation.
