The way Menus buttons present items and the overall appearance seems to be out of place with the rest of MGP i.e. tapping a list item is not in line with the usual interaction with objects and buttons.
I think what would be really cool, would be if menu items actually presented as a group of buttons, or a ‘sub grid’ type of thing. So I tap the Menu button and I am presented with a ‘mini grid’. And on presenting that mini grid, the main grid is blurred so as not to distract from the menu’s item buttons.
And the buttons could just have a default colour so as to offer a visual cue for the user.
Perhaps in the future we could even customise the menu item buttons with our own icons and colours.
