After many years of refusing to modify my Tivo in any way, I finally took the plunge and bought a 400GB Samsung drive, and Cachecard, and I've got it all running - Endpad is fantastic, as is TivoWebPlus.

My only issue at the moment is the width of the drop downs (or combo boxes, if you prefer) showing in the web pages created by TivoWebPlus, as they often show the first character of the options available (provided you look sideways and squint), for example when reprioritising season passes, or more frustratingly looking at the Guide for, say, Saturday.

Is there any way of increasing the width of the drop downs, maybe by altering my selected style sheet (theme)?

Jules - you can alter the theme, but this sounds more like a browser problem. What are you using?

IE7. Windows XP.

Try different themes - it's controlled by the CSS.

I've tried editing the CSS (I've used the blackbook.css) and changed the code from:

select[name]
{
width: 100%;
}

to

select[name]
{
width: 200px;
}

and it is much better as a result. The problem now is that the width is "hardcoded", and isn't dependent on the length of the items in it.

Still, it is an improvement.

JulesThis has been corrected in the latest TWP 2.0 release (070729), as long as you're using the built-in themes or the Jacket themes.

There are also some cool new features, like client-side sorting for show listings, and drop-down submenus (need Jacket themes to see them)
