Rather than try to just describe what I want, a screenshot will explain rather better what I want to do.

The first menu (on the left, circled in green) contains all the pages on the first and second levels, except for the home page and the "help" page, but it shows the two children of "help". That bit is fine, I can do this with two calls of Wayfinder.
The second menu with "tabs" is the difficult bit. Firstly it needs different, shorter names for the same pages. Then it needs some different entries, like "home" and "help" which are hidden on the other menu. While it is the more static and unchanging of the two, I cannot leave it to be part of the template as I need to change the colour of the tabs according to which section the user is in.
Any suggestions as to how I can do this without writing a new snippet using a couple of TVs? I’m not a total newb, I can do the php but it might be neater to use the better featured snippets already out there!
