  If it's just about the start-screen (and not an entirely new BE), why not 
simply create biiig icons for the modules and display them biiiig in a more 
grid-like landing-screen? :)
  The wizard also has biiig icons of the otherwise little icons for all the 
records, just to look nice. BTW that (the wizard) could also be grid- instead of 
row-mode.
  The TV page-template wizard has a grid, it's just not very full most of the time.
