I actually tried a rough implementation of something like this based on an earlier blueprint but got bogged mainly on two issues (as far as I can remember):
1. How to create a nice way to switch between stroke and fill color (technically, I sort of like the indicator in the mock up but have no idea whatsoever how to implement it in gtk).
2. I got into trouble with the marker combo boxes. What I'd like is a combobox with two columns, of which only one is shown when it's not dropped down (this would contain the preview, the second column the name). Alternatively I'd like to be able to say that the combo boxes have to fill the space given to them (instead of enlarging the containing box).
If someone can help with these issues (and similar gtk related issues I might encounter) I wouldn't mind having a go at it, as I think it would help enormously to be able to use such a dialog in practice.
Also, as the mock up misses some properties the dialog is still a bit large in reality (but I guess that could be improved).
