Default Customize Menu Structure

As far as I know there is no way to customize where plugins appear in Media Portal. I would like to be able to cutomize the menu structure to fit with the way I use my HTPC. Right now you can only put plugins on the home screen or under My Plugins. We should be able to choose where they go. For example I would Movies button on the home screen and within that I would have 'Play DVD', 'Netflix Manager', 'My Videos'.

This would make the layout much cleaner and require less scrolloing on the home screen. This is the way I would structure my menus:

- Movies
- Play DVD
- Netflix Manager
- My Videos
- TV
- Live TV
- My TV Series
- My Dvr-Mpeg Cut
- Music
- My Music
- My Radio
- Weather

- News

- Games
- Tetris
- MAME
- Sudoku

This way there are only 6 items in the home screen instead of 9 and the plugins are grouped better with what they are associated with. If there is a way to do this currently, please let me know. Otherwise, what do you all think about this idea?

In Configuration - Plugins - Home you can create exactly what you're looking for.
