Hey this looks great! I know many people will want to use this. I've coded menus before, it can actually be fun if you get creative with it. but it's still time consuming.

The grid looks nice, reminds me of NetObjects.

Is your background a 3D level? A cool feaure to have possibly would be to implent your own camera code so you can have a level with cool camera animations, of course that takes more time to load, just an idea. That's what I've done in the past and I thought it was cool.
