Although I agree mostly with you Bulia, here I differ. Recently, I *have* looked at whether Inkscape has a palette with (say) just the first 30 colors. Because that would have removed the scroll bar, and made some more vertical space...
I agree the scrollbar on our palette is clumsy - it's the same size as palette itself. The solution I would prefer is to do the same as XaraLX - they have a nice thin palette scrollbar, very unlike the main canvas scrollbar. Unfortunately I don't know how to do that in GTK.
Another long-standing feature request is to make the palette scrollable by middle button, same as canvas. Jon, what would it take to implement that?
But I also like the little square swatches, instead of long broad ones. So perhaps we can make a 'minimal' set for tech drawers like me who need choice but not that much choice. Just one full bar of square swatches is enough for me.
That's reasonable, and you are very welcome to create a no-scroll palette with the primary colors you need. If you think it can be useful generally, we can add it to our set. And of course once you switch to it, it will become your personal default.
