Here we go:
> All customizations refer to the podcast list on the left side:
> 1) Set a custom background color (#e7ebef)
In src/gpodder/gtkui/main.py at the beginning of init_podcast_list_treeview, do:
self.treeChannels.modify_base(gtk.STATE_NORMAL, gtk.gdk.color_parse('#e7ebef'))
> 2) Set a different size for the podcast pictures
In the same function, a few lines below, change the iconcell width property:
iconcell.set_property('width', YOUR_CUSTOM_SIZE)
And you also have to edit src/gpodder/gtkui/model.py, search for
self._max_image_side = ... and modify it, e.g.:
self._max_image_side = YOUR_CUSTOM_SIZE
> 3) Increase font size of podcast title
You can do that in def _format_description(self, ...) in the same file
(model.py), simply use Pango Markup for it:
http://developer.gnome.org/pango/stable/PangoMarkupFormat.html
For example, you can change this line:
d.append(title_markup)
to this:
d.append('<span size="xx-large">' + title_markup + '</span>')
> 4) Hide the description text below the podcast title
In the same function, remove the 4 lines at the end (the first line is
"if description_markup.strip():") and only add the following line
instead:
return ''.join(d)

In src/gpodder/gtkui/main.py comment out the following lines:
iconcell = gtk.CellRendererPixbuf()
iconcell.set_property('xalign', 1.0)
column.pack_start(iconcell, False)
column.add_attribute(iconcell, 'pixbuf', PodcastListModel.C_PILL)
column.add_attribute(iconcell, 'visible',
PodcastListModel.C_PILL_VISIBLE)
How to add the episode count and things to the description is left as
an exercise to the reader, otherwise it wouldn't be fun at all ;)
(Hint: _format_description has some interesting parameters that might
come in handy).
