Thanks for the feedback, Scott. You are definitely right about the hovering on the bottom navigation. Switched those back to regular 'hover' and it feels better.
The bottom navigator isn't based on anything I've seen. So I'm really just making up how it should work. The scrollbar is a bit ugly on it, but it is sure convenient for moving around, and also giving the user a bigger picture. I'll try removing the scrollbar and making the side arrows scroll while hovering. It think this also means I'll need 'disabled' and 'highlight' version of the arrows to give the user a bit more navigational cues. I'm guessing I'll have the mouse hover start a javascript timer?
