As the first thing the majority of Rockbox users will see when they power on their device, the main menu items only consume a small part of the screen (at least on targets with larger screens such as my 5G iPod anyway).
This doesn't bother me all that much, but I think this could be improved upon without going to a huge amount of effort by using the pictureflow plugin as a starting point and having the main menu icons scrolling across instead of album art.

Ok I've now gathered that having the functionality of the pictureflow plugin may mean adding it to the Rockbox core, so you can feel free to disregard my naive "without going to a huge amount of effort" comment if it's inaccurate.
Like I said, I'm not really bothered by the standard layout, it works absolutely fine and I don't want the functionality to change, but if it could be made more attractive this way without requiring too much effort, then it may be worth considering.
Thank you
