I like the idea!
* The style swatches at the right end of object-creating tools'control bars now open the Preferences page of the corresponding tool when clicked. Also, now these swatches display a tooltip explaining its purpose (e.g. "Style of new rectangles", "Style of new calligraphic strokes", etc.)
This one too.
Just a two proposals: 1. Can we try adding two boxes like this [x] to the left of this widget. One for removing stroke and another one for removing fill. It will unclutter RMB menu (which, by the way, isn't consistant with fill/stroke dialog - menu says "Remove stroke", but dialog says "No Paint") 2. Make width of field, where stroke thickness is presented, always have at least 5-6 numerical places. It's somehow unnerving, that shrinking and extanding of field... 3. This one is related to your second intervention. It would be much better IMHO to code RMB click to act like LMB + "Take from selection" (from preferences). This way we economize mouse clicks and speed up working. Did I say two?! :)
