Wow. I don't know if I can deal with this level of instant  
gratification. However--to give the gift horse a full dental exam:

Have you considered the possibility of putting the new template style  
menu in the contextual menu when you open the CM over the preview  
pane? Or perhaps a small popup on the bottom border? This would allow  
a bit more efficient toggling of views, which would be helpful when-- 
for example--you have a lot of Skim notes.

It also seems that there is some overlap between the "Template" menu  
item and the "Template style" menu item in the popout from "Preview  
Display." I wonder whether the "Template" item could be deleted, and  
possibly the "Template style" item below the menu divider could be  
replaced by the contents of its popout menu. That would reduce the  
menu tree one level and would also be efficient to use with a  
contextual popout or a fixed popup with one level.
