Oops
I saw that docker.h and friends were just removed.
:-(
They're documented with this page and UML

The main thing is that those are what will allow us to have swatches and such show up in a pane at the bottom of the window with just a minimal amount of coding.
Since their use was pruned out just before this, I guess it can wait for 0.43 to go out before putting them back. Once we release, though, we want to get to use those ASAP so we can get the dynamic UI tunable to the kind of thing Bulia wanted.

Sorry Jon, I thought it was the old code by Aubanel Monnier which was superceded by your efforts. I think we were discussing removing it long ago, though I may remember wrong. In any case, currently it was unused, which is why I removed it. Feel free to restore if you need it.

No problem. Part of the issue was that someone else had moved the files (CVS loses history).
But things are in there, so post-0.43 we can get what's needed restored. *and* get the swatches down in a panel on the edge of the screen.
For the moment it might even help a tiny bit with getting 0.43 settled and out. But the main thing I wanted to be sure of was to just communicate what things are. I'm also thinking that our next cycle might see some interesting internal refactoring, including more model/facade/bridge pattern work.

That would be cool. For my daughter, this panel is currently THE decisive advantage of Xara over Inkscape :)

I don't want to nitpick, but I almost only work with A4 portrait documents for scientific publications and I prefer not to lose space at the bottom of the screen. Is it really impossible to make the swatches panel repositionable on the right/left? For the same reason of keeping vertical screen estate, I hide the Command Bar.

Yes, being able to dock that bar at any edge of the window would be very nice.

The plan is to make it completely configurable.
In fact, the swatches container itself was made so that it could go into things other than a dialog, but we hadn't made it show up elsewhere yet since we didn't have that "put it where you personally want it" aspect working robustly.
