Like the topic name says, would you like to change the Wii menu theme? I would.. I'd like a black menu, that would be awesome, I'm starting to dislike this white menu theme.. (With theme I mean the color, but other stuff like layout/appearance could also be nice to modify.) If I'm wrong, and it is already available to change the menu theme, please do tell me how XD..

I'm not sure what theme I would want, but it would be nice with some change. I don't care that much, though. It looks good the way it is.

option 2 for me.

id love it if ninty released themes for the system. basic themes like a black coloured background would be kewl. als game themes like a mario galaxy or MP3 theme would also be ace.

it would also be kewl if we could customise it ourselves using a small app in the firmware or maybe a seperate channel. the ability to share themes would also be kewl.

finall i would like to create my own layout for channels. id love to be able to create a channel the behaves like a folder in windows. so, for EG, i could create an N64 channel and put all my N64 VC games in there. then, when i click on it, it goes to another screen with lots of channel slots and all my N64 games are there. i hate having everything on the one screen...it can get very clutterd.

I want Pokemon poeking their heads out from the side of the screen, similar to the Pokemon Game Boy Color.

That'd be awesome. >_>

I think the more you can costomize the better!! Add pics from the internet, your camera, music from CD's or Games. Even better yet have the game that you have in the wii Become the theme. (IE: Zelda , Have the theme music play in the background, Zelda like iconsand colors on the "desktop" )

I would love to have themes to customize my menu. And having a Metroid song or two instead of the hearing test shriek we have now would be nice.

the more options the better, no matter if you choose so or not

some 8-bit art would be pretty cool, upload your own jpeg or mp3 to greet you?

Sure there's nothing wrong with the way it is, but it wouldn't hurt anything for people to be able to customize it if they desired.

I'm staying neutral because I think it would be a nice option but I'm not sure if I would use it. Basically... I won't be mad if we get it and I won't be sad if we don't

I don't see the point of it. I'm not at the menu enough to even care. I look at it like customizing your computer background and icons... you can do it, but people only do it because they can't find anything else to do with their time. It will all be covered up with windows and you won't see it anyway... same thing with the Wii menu. If you spend too much time looking at it to bug you go buy a game. But to each their own.

I disagree with this as it will hurt something. To make those changes there must be some talented asian person spending time on it... when they could be working on a dev team for an upcoming game instead. I guess they could put it on some interns to-do list.

You're wrong on so many levels. And was the word "Asian" necessary?

Are you serious? Are you trying to say that someone taking a couple of hours to tweak the menu screen would cause the next Zelda (or whatever) to not be as good as it would have otherwise been? Or were you just kidding? I honestly can't tell.

Aren't they going to have the Wii menu music in the Pictochat level in SSBB Good thing you can disable it.

Also, would you rather have a customizable menu, or a new channel?

The politically correct version:

Making the menu customizable and still user friendly would take development time. Someone would have to do the work at Nintendo, someone would have to test it to make sure they didn't break something by adding these new features, and they would have to support it. We could speculate how much 'real time' all of this would take but would you perfer these changes to anything else nintendo could spend their development/support money on for the same amount of time? Would it make that much of a difference in my opinion, no. Maybe something for the next gen console.

Sorry I replied in such a manner that we all got stuck on the adjectives rather than the process I was thinking about.

On a related note how many other consoles have these features? Just curious if it's the norm and I'm missing out on my wii or just a nice to have that would give it that little bit more uniqueness.

while i agree with you, my suggestion for clutter is to act as if ever page is a folder, so have all n64 games on one page, etc. this creates some orginization.

:D

option 2 for me.

id love it if ninty released themes for the system. basic themes like a black coloured background would be kewl. als game themes like a mario galaxy or MP3 theme would also be ace.

it would also be kewl if we could customise it ourselves using a small app in the firmware or maybe a seperate channel. the ability to share themes would also be kewl.

They need to make a VC channel. This way we can organize the VC games anyway we want, even if you erase a game off your Wii it still list the games you bought and some other features can be there. the main thing is so I dont need to have all these random games on the channels.

I think would be nice to have, albeit not necessary. Once you run out of room you have to put the game on an SD card or just delete it and redownload it. But it would be nice to have a reminder somewhere on your channles that you have the other games. Like scanning your collection just looking for something that easily jumps out at you. Then you could always just pull it back off the card or what not. They do have something 'like' this but you have to go into the Wii Shop channel and then look at all items you have purchased.

This idea is needed because I am running out of room and its getting so annoying to have look through the games. If its on an sd then it just merely indicates that you need to put in the memory.

Please note the bold text. I think it was nintendos intention to have you look at the 'all purchases' section of the Wii Shop channel and just download it again instead of putting it on an SD card. I agree... it isn't the most fluid way of doing it is it?

no its not. thats why they need to make a dedicated and organized channel, cause I was able to get TONS of VC games and they are everywhere. but ya i see what you meant now.

Neutral.

I think the White Wii should have the white menu, and the black one should have a black menu.

Yeah the Wii menu theme is bland but it matches the Wii's color. But the SD card menu looks sweet, if only the Wii had black to begin with...
