That should be fine to illustrate the initial design using a picture . Nonetheless in practice as more and more plugins are installed they may add further mainnav items dynamically . There should be something in there to «control» their behavior . > Ideally this will be something that will render well on > a tablet or even smaller mobile device. > good point , but those items top right look like they will be fixed . As I mentioned that will reduce space for mainnav items. So I guess this should be confirmed by building a prototype and making some tests ;) ... maybe when project will be mature, it might be a good idea to provide a mobile app or optimize BH to work with smartphones and tablets ...
