Ok, the menu is no longer in the separator when it's embedded. Now it's on the right. There's an issue with it taking over more space when it's used, but overall it wastes less space now. Also, it just needs to get custom widget work done to do a menu popup button. With the embedded placement, this is needed a little more, and also is easier to work on.
A saner widget for opening the menu is badly needed, indeed. But, better yet, why not make that menu appear on right-click anywhere in the palette (as I proposed from the start) and remove any visible widget for opening it whatsoever? In that case it may be necessary to add some menu items (on top) related to the right-clicked swatch as well, such as Copy color etc., but overall it will be much less annoying than now, with less space wasted, and sufficiently usable.
I definitely think that a context menu seems like the best way to go as well. Another couple options I'd personally recommend adding to the context menu would be for Load and Save. And out of curiosity... is it possible to cut the size of the swatch pane in half for the time being (since there's even more vertical real estate with the scrollbar and menu on top gone)?
