I like the idea. I can do it after I implement hatches.

You can also change the mode using left arrow button at the bottom right corner.

By the way I'm thinking of leaving some empty space after each palette in grid mode

to keep palettes separate. It would look like this [1]. An icon could be added as first element of

each palette. It would have a tooltip set to category name.

It would be nice to be able to edit the gradient as is done with
swatches... but this might be involve resurrecting a simplified version
of the late Gradient editor dialog.

This is all really nice.

One small problem... I had trouble switching back from "Grid" view to
the "Tree" view as there wasn't an empty place to click on until I
widened the window a bit.
