Figured it was as good a time as any to throw these ideas out there. No idea if or when they could be implemented, but some blue sky stuff never hurts.
1) Most Played, Last Played, Total Played etc.
I've toyed with this for a while now - having something swish in and out of the homepage reminding ppl of their viewing habits. Helps personalise the whole experience, imo. I figured you could at least do the Last Played thing by just assigning a SetString onclick command to every list and panel, updating the same value each time. You can't do that, though, as wraplists and such don't allow onclick commands. As for the other stuff, I guess that's trickier.
2) Alpha blurring for transparent objects
For those that like the Vista look, and glass stuff generally. This is a bit "out there" for a feature request, granted, but I'd imagined something akin to the diffuse textures for reflections and gradients, but which applies a gaussian blur to whatever's underneath. This is the last ingredient for my own glass frames and panels, and if it ever came to fruition might even open up whole new possibilities for clear glass panels.
3) The ever-elusive Wall views
DONE. (Though they could still use wrapping).
Just a thought, like.

I'm not expecting anything there anytime soon though myself
