I actually wondered when someone was going to ask this.  The configuration for Theater View has really outgrown its location in the Options panel, I think*.

In any case:
1. Go to Tools > Options > Theater View.
2. Click the Customize file info panel link, under Appearance (at the top).
3. Select the Template you'd like to edit from the drop down, and then click the Manage button.
4. Choose Edit Template to alter the search.

You can also copy/paste templates, re-order them, and other management tasks from this button.  Actions apply to the currently selected Template (which would be easier to understand and use if it was a listbox like control, but there's no room in here with the View configuration below it, wink, wink, nudge, nudge).

* I still think you should configure the Theater and Media Network views via a special Top-Level item in the Tree of Standard View, using "views" that you can drag-drop around.  The same as the other thing with this guy.  That frees up all kinds of room in the Options Dialog to make the File Info Templates more sane, and you can show a preview of resulting files and categories in the right-hand side (or put view-specific configuration there rather than in a sub-dialog).

This makes copy/pasting views and rearranging them much simpler and less fiddly.  Soapbox done.

That is a great help. I'll give it a shot tomorrow (way past my bedtime now). Thanks.

Thanks Glynor. It works like a dream. Any idea where I can find access to such things as the "wall" and the other menu items offered in TheaterView?

I'm not sure what this means.  The "wall"?

akira54:
Sorry. At the top of the screen in TheaterView Movies a number of options (selections really) appear, such as Grid, HD, Recent etc. One of these is the Wall (gives a wall-like presentation of all movies.) I just can't for the life of me figure out how to modify these options (if at all possible).
