I don't like the distribution of the options: "show graphics", for example, is separated from "detach", "reset project", etc, and all are in a right button menu. That's not a user-friendly interface...
I can use the menus with the actual distribution without a problem, but there are people who doesn't use the computer very well, and therefore cannot use the program in all its potencial. And imagine that if english isn't their language, the scarce logic that the menu distribution has is gone for that people, making the use of the program like that chinese playstation games, wrote in chinese ;-)

Forgive my english, please

There are instructons around for setting the language of BOINC to your choice of a couple of dozen languages.

Placing all of the menus in the same loaction would not work as they are specific to the places where they are. They could however be placed in the standared menu and disabled when not appropriate.
