Style window inside a tool
I have always thought that the style window is too big. Now, looking at the great Color Tool script, made by Ponysmasher, plus the awesome Lost Layer Tool script, wrote by Ramón López; I think the all style window could be compressed to use only the space on the controls of a scripted select shape tool. It's hard to explain, so I made an image showing how it could be.
Dear scripters and users, what do you think?

I would love it if the current style panel could get condensed to something like this with the push of a button, but I still think I would like to be able to view it in it's expanded form as well.selgin wrote:I have always thought that the style window is too big.

Yes, my idea is to have the option to chose between the two modes. Anyway, I forgot to mention your amazing nudge keys tool, which is the base (and inspiration) of all this kind of "multi tools" .Rudiger wrote:I would love it if the current style panel could get condensed to something like this with the push of a button, but I still think I would like to be able to view it in it's expanded form as well.

Me, an inspiration? Really ? I just saw what Mike was doing with consolidating tools in AS6 and took it to the extreme. Then Ramon totally outdid me with his Lost Layer Tool ! Ponysmasher's Color Tool is looking really promising, especially if it let you set the properties of more than one shape at a time, which is still not possible in AS! Since styles are avaible in the scripting interface, it is possible that your most of your proposal could be done with scripting.
Great idea, I would love it! I finally decided to use scripts and I'm excited after I tried the key tool, instant limb and line magnet...they're fantastic! They save a lot of work...
To come back to the post, would be cool to put in some way the colours swatch, so you can definitively shut down the classic interface.

I make this:tonym wrote:Exactly. But an option allowing the user to hide the color palette would also be nice.
as default, style window can be undocked with control+] so when I undocked the style window, I drag it to the absolutely right of the screen, making it practically disappear.
Now, if you press control+] the style will be docked back. If you press control+] again it will disappear.
(I do the same thing with timeline, which command is control+[)
