How about a main menu button called "suggested" with all the suggested from music movies and so on together? .Unsorted or Sorted i 3 or 4 rows.. With covers the same size as in suggested from the movies.. It would be like the "favorites" but with smaller covers and sorted.. And again i have no idea if its possible, just an idea..
My problem with a suggested menu item is that it takes a little while to kick off ( at XBMC start), if you notice all my suggested widgets start with showing "recently added" untill the watchlist script kicks in, just so they have content. Another issue is the different sizes of thumbnails eg DVD's tall, CD's square and banners very wide. I think it's quite difficult to accommodate the variations - look at thumbnail view on occasions. I'll have a look though and see what it looks like. ATM I've only been playing with movies as in the screenshot. Could probably push in another column depends on the space to the main menu submenu area, but panel contains upto 25 thumbnails and have just put in a scroll bar. I do like having the thumbnails big enough that they are legible with out losing too much definition through resizing.
