So far as I created the menu system on the 3D Browsing website, my main concerns were:

• minimize menus to keep the 3D Browsing screen the main focus (I am not creating another desktop interface)
• keep them easy and self-explanatory (Keep it simple simple...)
• try to use the least amount of menu items by logically grouping them where possible
• expect additions and growth... the more I build, the more it needs settings...

Basically, I created something that balances transparency with readability...

But now we have the option to improve and start to make it a work of art instead of just functional.

This is where you come in... What do you think? Ideas???
