Suggestion: Use dialog command for beautiful menus

I am not sure if you have seen the dialog tool for linux. I thought someday it would make an easy drop in replacement for the current menu system... What do you think?

Some info:
dialog man page
dialog tutorial

The code below produces this menu (which you can basically continue parse with the current bash code):

Code:

dialog --title "Centmin Mod 1.2.3-eva2000.08 - http://centminmod.com" \
--menu "Centmin Mod Menu:" 23 60 24 \
1 "Centmin Install" \
2 "Add Nginx vhost domain" \
3 "NSD setup domain name DNS" \
4 "Nginx Upgrade / Downgrade" \
5 "PHP Upgrade / Downgrade" \
6 "XCache Re-install" \
7 "APC Cache Re-install" \
8 "XCache Install" \
9 "APC Cache Install" \
10 "Memcached Server Re-install" \
11 "MariaDB 5.2/5.5 & 10.x Upgrade Sub-Menu" \
12 "Zend OpCache Install/Re-install" \
13 "Install ioping.sh vbtechsupport.com/1239/" \
14 "SELinux disable" \
15 "Install/Reinstall ImagicK PHP Extension" \
16 "Change SSHD Port Number" \
17 "Multi-thread compression: pigz,pbzip2,lbzip2..." \
18 "Suhosin PHP Extension install" \
19 "Install FFMPEG and FFMPEG PHP Extension" \
20 "NSD Re-install" \
21 "Update - Nginx + PHP-FPM + Siege" \
22 "Add Wordpress Nginx vhost + WP Super Cache" \
23 "Update Centmin Mod Code Base" \

I know the current versions of dialog have an auto-size option which is pretty good... Here is a demo of small screen size that I just made. Anyway you probably know all of this already...

 

Wondering if you put any more thought into this. Sorry to bring back an old thread, but I really think this would be a nice upgrade!
