In my opinion Silica guidelines are ok for a few choices, maybe my thumb is too short, but I see no way to properly implement pulley menu in apps that have a lot of options or a few very often used ones. QT Creator in Silica? GIMP? Transmission? There's just no way, or you will have to hide all the options under 4-5 accessible in the pulley menu. See IRC app for example, totally unsilica (at least fails guidelines, in my opinion it is Silica++), yet works absurdly well. Not only you get quick access to most often used options instead of pulleying down menu to select msg or channel and only then selecting from a long list, but you also get a quick glance-like feature by changing colour, so you instantly know who msged you after the vibra. Maybe I'm a bit too in love with the app, but I believe Silica needs an update. It works great for apps where you have 'settings/about/refresh' and nothing else, but lacks for many others. Thoughts?
