Still, considering I'm more of a keyboard-based person... well, it doesn't really make a difference keyboard-wise, but the items in a radial menu should probably be consistently placed so that we can use motion memory... ... which sorta make it not that optimal for dynamic menus... ... hmmmm. Right. See, radial menus are supposed to reduce the need for you to look at the menu and carefully select items. Notice how with these rectangular menus, you have to position your mouse just so? With radial menus, you work with angles, so you can send your mouse off into a far, far corner and it'll still select the menu item you want. This turns menu navigation into a sort of gesture navigation... (... another thing I'm starting to get the hang of, incidentally. Too much Black & White.) I'll probably just check noosphere for more cool UI thingies. > I am really intrigued about you now.
