It seams that, although customizable quite a bit, home menu could use some improvement. I would like to have a discussion about it, both organizational and graphical wise.

There are, I guess, 3 options available:

1) Existing layout is probably unmatched for those seeking to have visible submenu for each section. Cons are not being flexible enough for adding more sections. E.g. adding section for Addons would result in some sections getting out of screen or I decreasing font sizes in order to keep readability and provide support for languages that have longer labels

2) AEON like is probably easiest to make and could provide probably greatest flexibility while not covering up backgrounds. Cons are that menu items are out of sight, making it not very intuitive to navigate. I guess Aeon users would disagree, being used to it.

3) Vertical home menu (PM3.HD or Transparency like) gives easy navigation on main sections with optional submenu. It's not looking good with recently added items shown in a way they are now. Submenu items are hidden until focused, which might be good if you have a kid's profile that you want to keep simple while still having opportunity to enable it for grown-ups

ATM, I'm thinking about 3rd option, but I'm open for discussion. Just keep in mind that whatever solution chosen, it must offer easy navigation for kids and non-technical users as well.

Please post your use cases, opinions and/or screen mockups or... keep silent and be surprised.
