Idea for a HS...but possible?

Ok i am sure you have all seen the chocolate menu.. is it possible to have a HS like that on the q? I want my fav programs all on the screen ( 5 or 6 total) and have it spin from one to the other as i wheel down or click. This would rock if possible and would be even cooooler if it could be a record spinning.

You'd need to research animated backgrounds. Then it'd depend on building the back ground. Something that certainly be interesting to attempt.

You could also rework a Facade launcher bar, so the spacing is right, and it would have kinda the same appearance, of course i dont know that it would have a "moving" look, but its something. (If there is not an animated version)

ok, thanks for both answer guys!! it will take me forever to get something like this to work, haha I dont think i would ever be able to do this, unless someone walked me through it step by step...dont have FAC yet and cant wait to get it though. But am gonna start looking in to animated stuff

Is the menu animated (except for the selection itself)?

You could theoratically put a multipage homescreen up that looks like that. Every page selects one item on the circle, and shows the info for that item (or launches the item you selected)...
