Your point on the limit in depth is well taken, but I'd submit that you don't really want to have limitless depth... a depth of two probably should be an absolute maximum and only when there are tons of options... mostly because you don't want to give the user too many places to consider where the settings for any given feature... I like the idea of having the galeon2 style big icons on the left, but given your point on depth restrictions, perhaps we should suggest a standard of : 1) Major headings go in galeon2 style big icons... cause really, they're kinda sexy... 2) If the options are so numerous that they call for a second tree of depth, the right pane can be notebook tabbed to provide multiple pages of options...
