When playing a live game, I would like the area behind the game window to be blank and unobtrusive. At present when a live game starts, the background reverts to the main menu which has too much flashing and activity. The best option at present is to click on the "Member Services" tab which brings up a page with limited activity.

We'll be redesigning the main menu soon and will take this into account. For now, yes you can just choose any menu you want after the game starts.
