Menu & Screen Resolution (post your feedback)

A few people have commented that they'd like to see the menu system work differently. I'm thinking about 3 ideas to redesign it:

Home Page Menu - We could list menu options on the home page and have a "Home" or "Sections" link on the menubar. One issue with this is you'd need to click back to it to select a different menu - all the menu links wouldn't be available from every page as they are now.

Left Nav Menu - I like this one alot, however I'm worried about making the interface too wide. We're already designing for 800x600 so this would push it up to 1024x768. I think the majority of users are at that resolution or higher (stats) but not all are, some people have sidebar programs that take up space, and not everyone has their browser open full screen all the time (although that's one click)

Top Nav Dropdown - This one would replace all the top menu options with a CSS dropdown menu called "Sections" or "Editors". The challenge with this is what to do if someone has 100 editors. :)

I would like to leave open the option of adding different "groups" of menus options in future if we add additional functionality to CMS Builder that isn't "Section Editor" related.

If anyone has customized their interface and would like to share a screenshot could you do so?

Also, let me know the max number of menu items you have and any thoughts or suggestions. Thanks!
