Would be great if there was an option to make whisker menu change its look to resemble the Windows 7 start menu. In whisker preferences, an addition tab would contain checkboxes to enable and disable which user folders would appear and have fields to set the commands for 'Settings', 'Printers', 'Default Apps', and 'Help'.

I'm sorry, I will not be adding this to Whisker Menu. That is a much more extensive change than it appears, and would not work as an option. It would require converting Whisker Menu into a Windows 7 menu clone permanently, and I have no interest in either using such a menu or maintaining one.

How about just the option to change the app categories to the user folders?
