In the last build of MJ 9.0 we introduced a shaky first look at Hairstyle, our full screen player interface. Like the current mega and mini modes, this is will be a complete way to control MJ.
Tonight's build has a better version:

In the lower left, you can see an "Picture In Picture] image. This is whatever was displayed on the screen when you toggled the HS mode.
Once it is on the screen, you can use cursor keys or mouse to navigate, opening and closing each option much the same way as you open and close tree items in MJ.
Here's an image that is a result of choosing Media Library/Audio/Artist/Album.
The reason this is important to us is that we see TV's and PC's merging. More and more people are using a PC to drive their TV (or using a TV as a display for a PC).
HS provides a simple interface to use MJ by pointing a remote from across the room.
And it is competition for Freestyle, Microsoft's media project which is just now emerging as "Windows XP Media Center Edition". MJ with Hairstyle will run on a much wider range of Windows OS and hardware configurations. With XP Media Center, you're expected to buy a $1500 PC.
