Well, I&#39;d start with good icons...<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Nov 3, \

somewhat solve the &quot;hard to read vertical text&quot;<br>

problem on the dock buttons, and at the same time make the docks more usable.<br>
<br>
What about this: If you hover a dock-button, and that dock is not open yet, it<br>
should be automatically expanded in non-attached mode(Overlapping the<br>
editor-area or the currently open dock on that side).<br>
<br>
Then the user can see what the docks are by just hovering them, and when he<br>
wants to keep a dock, he&#39;d click it. The dock should be usable, and should<br>
disappear as soon as the mouse leaves the dock-button/dock area.<br>
<br>
Then imo we also would not need that &quot;attach/unattach&quot; button any more.<br>
<br>
I think this would improve the usability of our docks.<br>

Greetings, David<br>
