Hi kartu,

I was just wondering whether it was worth adding a Games node to the 600 / x50 PRS+. There have been quite a few comments from people asking that the games not be installed. I know that you, kartu, have told them to simply ignore the games. I have been thinking that a compromise might be possible: if we put all the games into a custom node, then at least they are not seeing all these games on their "More" pages. It makes it easier to ignore the games.

I have been using a Games node on my custom build for a while now, and since Mark's recent changes to the MenuCustomiser (Revision: 120b70d3e901), the games node has been accessible and everything has been working fine.

There is one small difference, though, between my custom games node and the one already used on the 505/300 and that is I have just included games in mine. I have left the Calculator and Calendar on the "More" page.

And I've also changed core_ui_menu.js so that custom nodes can also have a shortName and a comment field. Is that worth doing, too?

What do you think?

Sincerely,
Ben.
