Tarantula Media Centre - Beta Testers Needed!

[Keeper]

So, i'm busy designing a complete media centre Application, that olny uses the mouse. (Good if you wanna connect an old pc to your TV!)
Me and Linoman have been talking and I might add options for touch screen use (If you wanna add a 10" touchscreen) and maybe even remote control navigation.

it automatically downloads IMDB Covers & Info - tell me what you think.

You cannot launch stuff yet, but i will be adding the code for that soon - so far, you can atleast browse.

I know it changes your resolution when it exits, forgot to code it, so just change it back when you exit.

to get to the options, RIGHT-CLICK.
Only a few options are there, as only have about 10 hours behind this project so far...

Tell me what you guys think, I NEED FEEDBACK People!

How do I get the tabs to work? I clickety-click everywhere but cannot jump between Movies / Blu-Ray / DVD's / IMAX / Documentary / Series / Games / Music tabs... Am I doing something wrong? Also, the RIGHT-CLICK for options doesn't work either and is the General / Advanced / Audio / Themes / About menu items supposed to be "grayed" out?
