GNOME - Future ideas

If you're going to do circular menus, check out how they're done in the easyGestures Firefox extension. They've got descriptions that stretch out from the icons in a way that actually makes sense. I've always liked the idea of circular menus, but until easyGestures, I never saw one that was practical. The menus in easyGestures look nice too -- almost as nice as yours.

Be sure to check out all the options as well. I like having the menu on the middle mouse button, but not activating it unless I also move the mouse. That way I can click the middle mouse button for one action, but also activate the pie menu with it. You can also choose how many actions to place in a single menu, and which items to place where. You can also have additional menus by clicking on a second mouse button after you've activated the menu, or by choosing one of the directions.
