Hi :)

IMHO the current uNav UI is great now because it's so coherent. And this is
so important.
Could we improve the current usability? Let's do it, no problem :) But
please take it easy, there is not a real hurry.

What do you think before to change code or layouts, to considerate mockups.
This will give us the big picture, that is need in this case and avoid work
2 times (now and in the future).

What do you think about to release 0.59 ASAP and then, focus usability
improvements in the 0.60?

A hug :)
