Yeah I'm thinking of something even weirder though. My niche is me haha and it's for searching for shit so...
Center: full screen
Left: single row of images, in same order as cursor will move
Right: grid of tiny images, with cursor zooming along first right then down
(choices that i might early that make this even feasible, 1) i don't do complex grid, it's square fixed with photo crop, i don't smooth scroll, movement is whole thumb at a time, amusingly this makes BURSTs look like slow FPS movies which is fun)

Automatic fade when unused.
