Hi Dennis, Andrea, Thanks for your suggestions. Advanced customization of the UI is currently neither an easy two-clicks task nor a real task on our planning as we are first trying to get the base UI just right for all users (keeping in mind that we are building a media center in the first place).
Elisa is currently separating the different media types but we want to build bridges between the sections to invent new ways to get immersed in your media. So accentuating the separation between sections seems to go against this effort. Nevertheless we may see use cases where this separation would make sense. Anyway if you guys want to step up and experiment with your ideas, don't hesitate to contact us when you need help and to keep us informed.
