Suggestion: B/G theme colour with few hues

Hi Gian,
Actually the fastest way I can think of to duplicate different SyMenu for my nephew, self and others is to create a "master" copy and then to install/uninstall apps according to needs. Dealing with Java JARs, batch files has been too complex for me. Gave up and switched to non-Java apps. Can solve one app, but can't solve another.
Whilst doing that, here's my feedback on UI, colour, 'tooltip' box sizes, etc. Here's my experience to share:
- Max, only one single level main container: Difficult to go beyond single level due to sub-menu appear at different levels and speed of changes.
- When I have another sub-container and if menu is placed to side of screen, sub-sub menu ended up flipping back to the main menu side, thus overlapping the main menu. Same colour b/g is rather confusing and the speed of menu switch is too fast. Hence, made do the best with current layout to be functional enough. haha.
- Perhaps few different hues of black colour if is chosen as main theme. Base menu darkest, 2nd level container lighter, tooltip, light colored/boxed.
- More standardized tooltip box size: Perhaps like Twitter style of charcount? Form fields like to fill-up? As in General Info, Further Desc/Specs/latest changelog
- Not sure whether any SyMenuSuite apps update if publisher changes desc whether what I typed/edited inside would be gone.

- Making it informative enough for my nephew to understand the choice of apps passed to him to explore with.

- tooltip / description could have some kind of charcount to limit description text to necessity. Speed of submenu switches makes it difficult
- Like the cool feature LINK TO FOLDER with items displayed. It would be great if can create Separate Launcher for this. Easier to browse through files within and act as if a small mini-Win Explorer.
If can have more structure for like desc/tooltip, would be glad to help out on edits.
