Hm, that is a good point. Fit maybe three items vertically with the hilight always on the middle one, making it larger than the others. Kinda like the Sony Vaio scroll wheel menu.

It still wouldn't be easy to see the item ahead and behind at a quick glance (which would allow you to scroll past two items at once). But the larger selected name would be great.

But... am I understanding this correctly? Three items, one on top of the other, left justified on the left end of the screen. Now, what about all the wasted vertical real estate (as opposed to the "wasted horizontal screen space" which started the discussion)?
