Good plan! Worked fine here with my two kids.

Settings/Screen/Select Skin. The Grid skin is a relatively new addition.
If it wasn't available there, then you should ask the m2p guys to update
jivelite.

Make sure you run LMS 7.8 or later. There's a new feature called "Defeat
destructive Touch-To-Play" you should find in the web UI's player settings.

Not really... One more trick: touch & hold an item you want to remove.
You'll get a menu from which you can hide or move it up/down etc. Then
there's a menu in Settings to reset the menus to default.

And install LMS 7.9: it allows you to create custom browse menus. I used
this to create a "Kids music" menu in the top level main menu.
