I don't agree with that bug-report. I don't think its a good idea to have a general user-configuration system. Perhaps some corner could be addressed that way, but not in general. I can't really argue my case, but it's related to:
-the fact that the simplistic basic/advanced/expert-user model is known to have many weaknesses. E.g. even expert users over time grow tired of tracking configurations. -it becomes more difficult to add any intelligence (as it must account for all user-behaviours) -such systems inevitably adds complexity to the code-base and can be hard to maintain in a consistent manner. Anyway, perhaps I'll do a separate bug report. Mnyb;458829 Wrote: > What would make most sense would be settings to re arrange the order of > things in all menu's .

What does the wife/family-members say when things aren't where they used to be? Its benign I know, but I don't know if the yield is worth it. > > On the topic now playing has a hard button yes but for a new user or > anyone else, is it really that clear what that symbol is ? that button > toggles it function it is home or nowplaying or off/on . > Yes, but the menu is fully included in the button functionality since the only place the menu can be used is from the home-menu, from which the button does exactly the same. I don't know about the symbol though. I don't think the total learning threshold would be bad though. Its not only about "how to find the button" in the first place. Its also a balance between things such as insentiment, frequency, necessity etc. Take the iPod touch. It only has a single button with a square on. Its not at all obvious from the symbol alone that this is the main-menu button. Still I have not heard any complains about it. I should add that my post was inspired by the Touch-interface that has, not a hard button, but a dedicated on-screen button and no Now Playing menu. > > I kinda like it as it is...
