[Gimp-developer] dock dialogs and toolbox used as an widget

[Johann <jo y venn gmail com>]

Hi there,

some suggestions about dock dialogs and toolbox used as an widget


would be awesome to invoke essential dialogs like colors, tool presets and tool preferences with a ( 
floating, configurable ) widget
Why ? 
- because we digital painters need our tools just for a little moment, exactly when we choose and set them.
- we could work without any distraction in our way, just with our work on screen (tab is already a nice catch 
to hide tools, but not "enough" )

i "dream" still yet of this feature in the Gimp :D 
click hotkey = invoke to choose a tool and/or adjust settings
click the previous hotkey again = close the widget 

actually, i merged toolbox and dock in multiple window mode, and work in fullscreen mode. I'm able to invoke 
my toolbox-dock only after clicking the tab button twice-maybe a Mac os issue. (Mac OsX 10.7.5)


regards

Jo
