[QUOTE="morpheus_xx, post: 1112866, member: 48495"] Hmm, good that we have talked about that... Until now I wasn't aware of the idea to have "master menu" in all screens like in home. This idea has some problems we need to consider. The main is not the layout, but the navigation itself. Consider this example: [LIST=1] [*]On home screen you select "Media Hub" let's name it "tab page" (as only content of the selected tab is visible). You are in "Home" navigation state. [*]Now select "Series". You leave home state and show series selection. This is "Series root". [*]You select "Series A". You leave "Series root" and filter for season. [*]You select a season to get list of all episodes. [/LIST] In breadcrumb it looks like: Home -> Series -> Series A -> Season 1 No problem. But now: What exactly should happen when I now click on the link "News" (main tab menu)? The button has no effect in this screen, as the menu content is only used inside "home". [ATTACH=full]158320[/ATTACH] Do you understand the problem? It's the combination of two different layers of navigation: one "horizontal" of main tab menu with a "vertical" of media navigation (as example) One possible solution would be to navigate back to "home" screen once you click on any of the main tab menu buttons. But then you leave the series navigation and you have to re-enter all levels if you want go back. [/QUOTE]
