This is SqueezePlay products only then (classic players are customised through 
WebUI Player Settings still)?

How does this work with different SBS servers?  i.e. if I connect to my local 
server, and then go to MySqueezebox.com, and then go to tinySBS, will they each 
require their own customisation?  Will the settings be synchronised through 
MySqueezebox.com (if sync enabled)?  Where are the settings stored, if it's not 
with the server that the player is connected to?

I find this much more annoying than the inability to do a slight re-order of 
menu items on the home menu, but it's perhaps more of a fault with the App 
Gallery, than something to be fixed by adding context actions to menu items.  
eg. when adding an app, there's only an option to also add it to home menu, 
where in reality it would be much nicer to add to Home, My Music, Internet 
Radio or Extras.

But then there's the App Gallery itself; I'd much rather get that off the home 
menu and into Settings, as I hardly ever go into it (when was the last time a 
new app appeared in there?).  I can hide it, but then there's no way to access 
it other than by working out how to unhide, access, then hide again.

It could be improved, but it's not that bad - achieves what it set out to do.  
I think it would be good to include still, but perhaps put a note at the top of 
the page that menus can also be configured through context menu actions.

Sounds okay.

Ah - much better - then I can hide App Gallery and still get to it once in a 
blue moon!
Just to confirm - what items would be hideable?  Only items that normally 
appear on home menu, or does it include other things (eg. My Music browse 
menus, settings, etc).  Would the Hidden Items be a tree structure, or flat 
list?
