Theater View Is Not Related to Main Database View Schemes

Good for beginners and advanced users alike. Of all the improvements that could be made to Theater View, this is one area I would have left alone. I just think you guys had it right in the first place.

Me too. QFT.

I'd like to see all of the the Theater view viewschemes included in the regular tree. They could be separate from the audio, images and video ones. When you click on the theater view one in the tree you would automatically go to the theater view ui too.
If, while in standard view, you right clicked on a theater view viewscheme in the tree you would be presented with a menu saying "edit viewscheme" where there would be a similar viewscheme configuration window to that of the standard viewschemes.

One thing that could make this idea work for me (aside from the duplicate views problem) is having an always accessible "revolving view-scheme selector bar" at the top of each view. Sort of like how Vista Media Center does it (which is one thing I think it does quite well).
Something like this would allow me to see at a glance what other view schemes are available when entering a given view (Audio, Video, Images). I could arrow up to it easily, select the view scheme I want WITHOUT needing to "jump out" to the views button AND it provides a nice visual of which view I'm actually in.
Here's a mockup:

I like this.
And there have been several requests in the past to make the Views menu in Theater View fully and independently configurable. In my opinion, the browsing paradigm is different enough from Standard View that different views make sense.
I agree that a way to copy a view scheme into the Theater View view list from Standard View would be nice.
