More controlls for the quick option menu?

As was said, that's kinda annoying, since I don't use any other menus without looking, and I only have two options on the quickscreen that I actually use. I don't see how "making mistakes" is likely; I can manage to hit the buttons for regular playback control without looking, so hitting the quickscreen buttons isn't any harder. fastforward toggles crossfeed, rewind toggles the equaliser (I only use one preset: "crappy headphones attached"). I think menu and play are still set to changing filetype visibility, but I don't use them :)
I see the point of it as being exactly that: being able to change one or two settings in the absolute quickest and simplest possible way... virtually anything else I can imagine wanting to change is already in the WPS context menu, which is no more difficult to use than the system being proposed here. Maybe we should just let people customise that, if it's just going to be a list style menu like everything else?

Yes, the idea of my quick screen purpose near the start of the thread is also that, but for those people (or at least for one person: me :) ) who instead of one of two settings want to manage more (5,6, 7, etc.)

I use the Quick Screen all the time and I am unable to do the following; if it is possible please feel free to instruct me, otherwise please consider this my input to improving this feature.
1) I have music and voice content from various sources, including MP3 and FLAC. I need to adjust the BASS and TREBLE regularly and would like to see the ability to access controls for both of these in the same format the PITCH control works: with the scroll wheel increasing/decreasing the mode in Realtime.
One temporary solution is to assign BASS to both the LEFT and RIGHT buttons as these adjust the value up/down respectively, but this wastes the limited number of buttons and is not real time like the PITCH function. At present any BASS adjustment from the Quick Screen, is applied only after I press the HOME key which limits its usefulness.
2) I would like to be able to directly access more of the SOUND menu items such as Graphic EQ from either the Context or Quick Screens. It does not seem possible at this time.
Finally, I think much of this could be solved if the user could add ANY item to the CONTEXT menu and reorder it even if by editing a CONTEXT.cfg file.

While Playing Screen - Context Menu - Sound Settings
From there you can access (oddly enough) the Sound settings: Volume, Bass, Treble, etc.

What is missing from any of the context menus? (serious question here)
I really don't see/can't think of anything that would be needed in the WPS context menu...it has all the things I can imagine anyone wanting to mess about with relative to sound settings.
And none of the other context menus seem to be lacking either, to me at least.

I already had that figured out. When adjusting sound parameters, real time access and response is of the essence. The key advantage of Quick screens is to get you where you want to go without delay from menu navigating. This is much more important when setting real time visual and audio settings than it is when setting something like back light delay time. :)
