Editing a theme (If TW doesn't mind)

[wgroenewald]

Hi there

I’ve never done theme editing before and would like to make some changes to TW’s CoCo theme, if TW doesn’t mind that is

What I’d like to do is make a bit more space for the movie info (I can do the changes to the linksheets in thumbgen designer, which I’m fairly comfortable with) but I need help changing the theme itself. I only use list view and its highly unlikely I will ever use anything else.

Below is what I’d like to change:

1. I’d like to move the file names further to the right, I know somewhere in the xml files I’d need to increase the value of the  X axis tomove it futher right, but not sure which xml’s and where

2. I don’t use these ratings, so would like to remove this completely to compensate for moving the filenames further right, can this be done?

The above image I’ve copied from page 1 of Tinwarbles CoCo theme thread. All credit to him for an awesome theme.

Thanks so much. Removing stars was quick and easy. Moving text required a couple of extra values to change but I got it right thanks to you putting me on the right track.

Here’s how I’ve butchered it so far
