I tried taking one of the view types in PM3 (BigList), copied it, changed the ID and names where appropriate to create my own new type, but it doesn't seem to show up in the list of view types when I toggle through them.
What is involved in creating new view types? I'd much rather create my own new ones for now rather than replacing existing ones.

you are limited to ID's 50 to 59 and you if you are keeping them in the same file you then need to add the <include> name stuff to the files like MyVideo.xml and so on and make sure the ID number dosn't conflict with any others included in there

On a related note, how would I go about changing the text displayed in the view choice button, eg: "View: Icons" -- Changing the name of the view is no problem, but changing that prefix "View:" is proving to be difficult. I tried changing it both in strings.xml and even directly in the label of the button control, but neither seem to actually change the text.
I have the same issue with the Sort By: button.. Is this changeable at all?

Well you could write your own view switching control from scratch yourself (and use the Container.SetViewMode method to activate the relevant view)
