I find it somewhat difficult to quickly tell which videos have been watched in theater view, particularly with TV series where the episode names have varying lengths.  The watched check marks don't line up vertically and doesn't really stand out from the rest of the text displayed. 

Is there an expression which alters the format of the episode name to dim the episode name text instead of displaying the check mark?

I vaguely recall seeing a post about this but have been struggling in vain trying to locate it.

Thanks!

You can use Watched(1) and switch off its results, to soften the text color.

Watched(1) indicates unwatched, partially watched, and watched.  How do you want each cased handled?

Out of curiosity, what does Watched(2) indicate?  Here are the desired changes:

Unwatched - Bold text
Partially watched - No change
Watched - Dimmed (20% or so)

Grabbed this next bit from another post.  Is this where I'd alter the view settings?

Tools > Options > Theater View > Customize file info panel...
Select the Media Type under Templates, and click Manage > Edit Template.

Thanks for the help MrC!

You can read the documentation for Watched().

There are several Video templates, one for Movies, one for TV Shows, and one for general Video.  Be sure to change the one(s) you want.

There's an example in the Watched() docs that shows how you can switch on the Watched(1)'s value.

Let's assume you want to change [Name] from the existing templates to be bold when unwatched, or dimmed when watched, and ignored otherwise:

ifelse(
   compare(watched(1), =, 0), <b>[Name]<//b>,
   compare(watched(1), =, 2), <font color="aaaaaa">[Name]<//font>,
   1, [Name]
)

Thanks a lot for your help.  You've got me pointed in the right direction now.
