Cadence the First Software Co to Exploit Heat Concept in GUIs

What is Heat?

You have a windowing application.
You have menu-items - File, Edit, etc. Each of these, have sub-menus and those sub-menus have atomic menu-items (or sub-sub-menus). You get the idea.
So, the first time a user uses the product, each atomic menu item will have some heat.
Menus that provide access to a lot of atomic menu-items will have a lot of heat.
The heat appears visible to the user as a glow.
Heat exists till the menu-item has been used. It disappears after that.
So, as he uses menu-items during the life of the app, the glow on the root menu items will reduce.
Though there is averaging involved to provide glow to root menu-items, there is a minimum amount of glow that is clearly distinguishable to indicate to the user that there is an unexplored feature within the root menu-item.

This will, in short order, turn every user into a power-user.
