I'm really loving classic shell and want to use it on my custom themed Win7 desktop. There is one feature I wish the app had, for it to work better with docks/launchers:

if classic start menu is launched using a shortcut, it would be great if there was an option to make the start menu display positioned relative to the mouse pointer. This would be brilliant for dock style launchers which are usually centered at the bottom of the screen.

Currently, if I create a shortcut for classic start menu and add the -toggle argument, it is positioned the way the standard start menu displays - far left of the screen. Adding an option to have it pop up next to the mouse pointer makes classic shell a lot more user friendly with docks or similar custom UIs.

I'm not sure if this post is appropriate here, if it needs to be moved to a features request thread, let me know.

That would be quite interesting indeed, and would work well with the classic theme and 1 column

+1 for this, though I wouldn't use it, unless it could be used in conjunction. It would definitely broaden the utility of classic shell without much work
