I think there's should be some sort of "initial setup" menu(UPD: as
Thomas Lloyd said:)),that appears on first RB launch, which helps to
set time,date,language,touchscreen mode,blind mode,etc.
Maybe grid mode and blind mode should be linked,don't know.

Drawing grid everytime is a bad idea,because it isn't handy on some
screens.Some sort of hotkey or long-pressed trigger would be better;)

But this grid is conflicting with main ideas of touchscreen, so
"absolute mode" should have more priority than grid.
It would be very good to add visible buttons and drop-down menus on
screens where needed,and add "slide" capability for menus.
