I agree with you about that being more ergonomical. But the overlap......completely disagree, placing progress bar right side (PLi) is much more logical (in my opinion) than insert it between channel number and chanel name....Translation: I think the DMM-lay-out is even better, as "our" bars are sometimes overlapped by a long event description.
Not sure about that. It will also depend on how much space the skin has for the description (different value for each skin).besides with dmm layout you'll have long event descriptions cut-off I suppose..
