Hi,

It's possible to make both focused, actually my next demo would be to
illustrate the menu interaction. The basic unit is panel, we can add
"input" or "select" property to panel so that it can have input focus
or can be selected, something like this:

  panel {
    direction = vertical
    space = 10/1
    input = 1

    panel {
      direction = horizontal
      space = 10/1
      command = ""

      image {
        image = "/menu/ubuntu.png"
      }

      text {
        text = "Ubuntu"
        color = "yellow:light-green"
      }
    }

    panel {
      direction = horizontal
      space = 10/1
      command = ""

      image {
        image = "/menu/debian.png"
      }

      text {
        text = "Debian"
        color = "yellow:light-green"
      }
    }

    panel {
      direction = horizontal
      space = 10/1
      command = ""

      image {
        image = "/menu/gentoo.png"
      }

      text {
        text = "Gentoo"
        color = "yellow:light-green"
      }
    }
  }

There are two level interaction, "input" is used to indicate "window",
we use tab key to switch between different window. "command" is used
to indicate "item", each window can have multiple items, we use up or
down key to navigate between items. The command property also contains
the  command to execute when the item is clicked.
