The bars could be displayed using something like

   ==========--------------

and the selectable items don't really need to be in colomns, they could
just as well be normal texts set with SetItem(). I don't really know the
rotor plugin, but I if I were to implement something like that, I guess
I would use the Left and Right keys to move the dish. But that is, of
course, the plugin author's choice... ;-)

I still believe that the functionality of the rotor plugin can be displayed
using cSkinDisplayMenu and its SetItem() functions. It's simply a question
of whether it wants to use the standard interface, or run its own show.
