Great idea, Tony!

The MyMenus stylesheet plugin will be very helpful to everyone, in my 
opinion.

Like many people out there, I am one of those folks that a) don't know the 
language of TW5 enough to customize my TW's, and; b) don't have the time to 
learn the language except for very basic formatting, editing, saving. I am 
sure I am not the only one with this time constraint issue; and I believe *this 
like to time to learn the TW5 way of customizing is one of the main issues 
for widespread adopting of TW5 by the general public*. There are lots of 
useful resources, no doubt about it, though not many people has the time to 
peruse them. I am for the MISS concept here, no apologies.

Therefore, I have a request in addition to your idea. Maybe you already 
thought about it though I don't know, so here it goes.

In addition to your list, I would like the plugin to be able to change 
styles in an easy way (note I am talking about "styles" here, not 
"themes"). Also adding a "checkbox" capability to the plugin to perform the 
changes. Below are, in no particular order, a few examples (some of them 
may be already implemented in the empty.html):

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
4. Hide/show "Breadcrumbs" or "Tab" menus
5. Change the location of sidebars (left/right)
6. Hide/show "Edit" and "View" menus
7. Hide/show some of the sidebar menus
8. Change the position of title/subtitle
9. Change the type and size of fonts, separate options for the "Story View" 
and the "Toolbars"
10. Change the colour of fonts/background
11. Add the capability to make the changes somewhat permanent, like 
cookies, for each TW
12. Optional: a simple hover menu that does not use complicated icons 
(simpler than Saqlmtiaz's lewcid site in TWC)

The above menu features should work with the original "Snow White" and 
"Vanilla" themes; without messing with icon based menus or other 
complicated features. I believe more people would adopt TW5 if they see 
basic customization of original themes be done easily than rich feature and 
colorful themes. So no theme customization, just menus within current 
stylesheets.

Regards,

Alfonso
