Kamalpreet, Tav,
I would suggest to have some switch options available when using the selector. So you can select an object and the Style dialog gets into focus (as a docker?). Much like you have when double clicking a colour. Obviously it would be great if you could select a number of objects from the object manager and then apply a certain style to that. That would need interaction between the object manager and a style selector.
Instead of having a separate style dialog as in Tav's example, I wonder if it wouldn't be easier to have a collapsible edit box available in the styles list for easy access. It would also allow for multiple open dialogs that way to be visible. When working with CSS styles that often is quite handy. Another thing on my wish list is the ability to move the styles order of display. So if you create several styles, some of which you do not use that often, you can move the more used to the top of the list for easy access. Certainly if you would apply the suggested style dialog as a collapsible child of the tree, you will probably want screen real estate to be used optimally and not have to scroll a list to find the correct style.
One of the problems with the current docker for me is the fact that you end up with quite a few things docked. I wonder how much effort it would be to enable more than one docker column. That would allow for some tasks to be done more efficiently. I can imagine a CSS style list and the object manager to be used in unison that way, rather than having two halves on screen.
Cheers,
Jelle

Cool, we'll get right on it. Thanks!
Excellent Part of the discussion should be how this dialog fits into the grand scheme of things. Should it be a separate dialog? Should it be merged into a combined Layers/Objects dialog. Should it replace the Selection Sets dialog? (Being able to select using classes should remove the need for selection sets.) Tav

Talking about CSS support in Inkscape, a style dialog box will be
added during GSoC this year. A design has already been proposed by
Tavmjong at [1]. Some discussions have been done in thread 'Style
Dialog'.
We need a review of the design for the style dialog from the interface
team. Which options should be available in it? How it should behave
when a user interacts with it?
Any modifications in the design are most welcome.
