I recently lent my h300 to my (not rockbox aware) sister and observed confusion while trying to show her how to use the recording feature.
The problem was that there is no(t really any) visual difference between the file browser and the menu. For example my root contains folders such as music, recordings, pictures etc and then in the menu ther's settings, recording etc and this was obviously confusing as the two look very much the same.
So an improvement would be some clearer difference between the two. I don't really know how to do that but perhaps have another backdrop for the browser or some "menu arrows" or icons (shrug...) in the menu.
As a side note she managed to get the recording right and was able to listen to it, so our user interface can not be all bad :)

How about simply adding a caption to the list views? The "Show Path" feature could get extended to be a "List Caption" option which can show the path (like already present) or show a caption like "File Browser", "Tag Browser", "Main Menu" and so on. This could be set to the caption setting per default. Maybe add a small line to separate it from the rest of the list view.

I'm quite fond of that idea. I suggested something very similar a long time ago.
Also, the Root folder needs *some* sort of caption for both visual consistency and decreased confusion.

Calculator, Clock, possibly a Periodic Table of the Elements like iPodLinux had, etc...

just fyi, having a title in the menus at the moment is not very easy to add, but.. (here we go again) in my menu/ressetings recoding patch (forumn thread a few below this one) this is done for the main menu, and any others which use the new menu code.
