Alfonso,

Thanks for your enthusiasm. A number of your requirements are built into 
the first release such as
1. Change the position of menus (above the sidebar, top of page, bottom of 
page)
2. Hide/show main menus
3. Have "Accordion" and "Drop-down" menus 

and most of the rest should come very soon.

What is important to understand is MyMenus provides a platform on which to 
build menus, each item in a menu can be wikitext macros etc... that you can 
place in any tiddler.
 
*If you can do it in wikitext you can do it in a menu item*

So for example if you install a *breadcrumbs plugin* and know how to toggle 
it on and off in wiki-text you can make it a menu item to do so.

There is however a lot that can be done even with native tiddlywiki, such 
as toggling system tags, from view templates to alternate Stylesheets.

I expect we can quickly build a list of shareable menus that do much of 
what you ask above, and where they must we can indicate they have a 
dependency on another macro or plugin.

People with the knowledge and experience to do so, can contribute menus 
that manipulate the elements that you ask for,  to customize your TW's,

I hope the library of menus we build will meet all your needs. I will add 
these to the requirements.

Regards
Tony
