Have you considered to have a core subset of features around sketch, camera, doc view and graffiti wall only? These are the functions that imvho make liqbase stand out and they still need a lot of user friendly love.
Then the rest of pieces you and others are willing to play with could be additional plugins or separate apps/widgets build on top of the same base.
Like this app launcher. It's sweet but
a) Does the user really need it when what she wants is to draw a skets on top of a picture?
b) Being a launcher it should be available instantly after one click anyway.
Same for sketching, the user wants to be able to sketch right away. liqbase launch, stars and general menu are already in the way.

The only way to find out for me was to tie up the graphics capabilities of liqbase with the *current* system menu structure.
So I have spent some time examining the interfaces and have managed to load and display and interact with the current system menu structure.
(I have also made the menu background use the current system one as well, this style improvement follows throughout liqbase currently)
This is by no means finished nor even in a final form yet, but just thought I would post the idea up here to gauge feedback.
I'm thinking of using a variation on the physics view to dynamically resize the icons within the selected menu, but keep everything on screen for those with a stylus and a keen eye.
I'm planning to have a set of icons down the side to allow quick sketching camera media player and contacts/calendar usage
just idle new year thoughts anyway.
As for liqbase itself, I have spent the last month or so cleaning up a lot of libraries and trying to create a single base widget to build from, its not ready yet and I was aching to get back to some visual code.
I just got myself a tabletpc which I have been after for a while and making the released 0.1.5 version work on it reminded me theres a lot still to do
liqbase sketching the future.
like what i say? hit the Thanks, thanks!
