Or is there somewhere a better one that takes up the hole screen? In lines or in cubes...

PS: Sorry my English isnīt so good but I think you understand what I ment ;)

It looks to me very much like the "Programs" tab. There must be a way to port your start menu items to the programs tab and then you could change your tab order so "programs" is first and act like your start menu, although that means losing your home tab as the main screen. Or maybe the "Start" button could be remapped to flip to the programs tab. (am I opening a can of worms here?)

Would this be possible, or can the programs tab only contain *.EXEs? If it was possible to contain different shortcuts, it would be nice if we could change the name of the tab to "Start" as well. Then the only difference would be the button you use to get to it (Providing the Start button isn't remapped).

So, my idea involves:

1. Finding a way to add things other than EXEs to the "Programs" tab
2. Remapping the "Start" button to make TF3D flip to the "Programs" tab
3. Remapping the right soft-key to open the start menu (so you can still get to it if you need it, but only from the Home tab)
4. Rename the "Programs" tab to "Start" somehow.

Damn, it sounded so much easier in my head... :D

Maybe porting the Topaz's Start Menu would be quicker!!!

Nice idea but I thought if we can add folders in to the programs tab of manilla (like settings folder and then it opens all settings like when you press on "all programs" in program tab in manilla). or something like that. That`s what I am after. Something like THE TOUCHXPERIENCE PROJECT. Sorry schaps if you have something against it just say it.

We don´t need the start menu at all if this can be done. ;)
