Myth TV Disable Background

How to disable the background image in 'Watch Recordings' section

Myth .22 and above all display the artwork for the programme (presumably via xmltv etc) as a background.

I find this distracting and makes the recording list hard to read so wanted to disable it.

All you need to do is edit /usr/share/mythtv/themes/Mythbuntu/recordings-ui.xml and comment out the section relating to artwork so it looks like this : 

 <!--imagetype name="fanart">
            <filename>background.png</filename>
            <area>0,0,1280,720</area>
            <preserveaspect>yes</preserveaspect>
        </imagetype-->
