[haiku] Menu font and Appearance panel

Hi there!
As you may know, the font setting for menus was moved from the Menu preference panel to the Fonts panel.
Now, I was wondering what's so special about the menu font, that it's the only one settable from the Fonts panel besides the general plain, bold, fixed? If this setting wasn't removed altogether (I wouldn't mind at all), it would fit better into the Appearance panel. After all every color setting for a "... text" object could also have its font+size set.
Personally, I'd never use the Color tab of the Appearance panel. Besides being satisfied with Haiku's default looks, I hate looking through lists of objects, trying to figure out what's what. How about having the Apearance panel show a representation of a window with all available widgets. Below this window-dummy it states the name of the clicked on object, and you have all the other stuff like font/size/text-color/background-color. All changing (at least in the windows-dummy) in realtime. 

Regards,
Humdinger
