I'm not quite sure I understand what you are asking.

If you want to change Rockbox's UI then you will first need to
understand why it is the way it is - Rockbox works on many different
devices, with very different LCDs (some devices have two LCDs - one on a
remote), and Rockbox's UI is also voiced (i.e. it speaks to you).

Any changes will need to take those factors into account.

I would suggest you come to the IRC channel and talk to the other
developers about your proposals, or maybe start a Wiki page, and upload
some designs there.

But be aware that "user friendly" isn't easy to define - what some users
find friendly, other users abhor, so the challenge is finding something
that pleases most people, and that the others can live with.

Dave.
