Change appearance of EyeTV 3.x on-screen editor area

Elgato changed the appearance of the OnScreen Editor in EyeTV 3.x. In prior releases, the editor was placed outside the recorded content, which was very helpful whilst dealing with subtitled movies and other important visual information that appeared in the lower part of the movie content.

All files are located in the EyeTV bundle (Control-click and choose Show Package Contents, then navigate into Contents » Resources):OverlayBG.bottom.pn​g, OverlayBG.bottomleft.pngOverla​yBG.bottomright.pngOverlayBG.h​tile.pngOverlayBG.left.pngOver​layBG.right.pngOverlayBG.top.p​ngOverlayBG.topleft.pngOverlay​BG.topright.pngThe only thing you need to do is Select All in your g...
