Default Zune HD Swipe Menu V1.0

Heres my menu system that I've been working on, please post any bugs or whatever here or on the codeplex website. I'll be working on improving the docs and adding new features.
The docs are in the Documentation section of the codeplex website.
I will also be releasing some themes for developers to use (You are free to use commercially as long as you don't claim as your own (royalty free though))
Zune HD Swipe Menu

The logo, a screenshot and a video

I will be adding the .ico and svg of the logo to the CodePlex SVN for anyone who wants it


+ YouTube Video
ERROR: If you can see this, then YouTube is down or you don't have Flash installed.

more themes coming soon

I will also be making a canvas like this (for scrollable images documents, etc.)

[Mod edit: Please do not double post. Thanks.]

Version 1.2 will be coming out soon including custom hues and alpha values, time based physics, offsetting (relative from center screen), offsets for menu items(to allow for funky shaped item pieces, y, auto centered on x), some more themes, a better tutorial, and a few other things (some of these might come later also, so)

Genius! However, i have noticed when your trying to pull towards a black edge (like to flip to the bottom/top) the menu only goes 1/2 the distance of your finger.

You should also add the ability to tag multiple items and delete them at once.

thats something i could probably do

--

Well V 1.1 is out with bug fixes.

V1.2 and later versions coming soon! Look for
  1. More realistic physics
  2. Time based movements
  3. Checking items (and removing/custom events)
  4. Offsetting of menu and items (to allow for transitions)
  5. Letter box search (like the Zune music menus have)
  6. Custom hues (and transparencies)
  7. Anything that i've forgotton

Along with v1.2 I will be releasing better docs and new themes, free to anyone

You should add these elements to apps like zNotes.

when i release v1.2 (whenver that is, i need to fix the bugs) ill rewrite a better tutorial but otherwise its very straight foreward
you have your list of SwipeMenuItems (you create it separately)
ex:
List<SwipeMenu> items;

then in the menu constructor you specify that as the list you wish to use. Msdn for documentation on a list
