Greg Brown commented on PIVOT-682:
----------------------------------
Duplication isn't necessarily a bad thing. There's lots of duplication already
in the platform. From a design standpoint, it can help serve as a sort of
insulation for things that initially seem closely related but ultimately prove
not to be.
When a window is maximized, I agree that the user experience for a Sheet or
Tray would be indistinguishable. However, not all windows are maximized. Try
running the Windows tutorial application and change the sheet slide direction -
I think you'll see what I mean. It does not seem natural for a sheet to slide
in from any other edge - a sheet is designed to slide down from the title bar
of a frame.
A "tray", on the other hand, could easily slide in from any side of the
display. So it seems more natural to make this a new component. Making it a new
component also allows us to skin it differently, and I imagine that a tray
could easily look different than a sheet.

> Dear All,
> As discussed over the forum, it would be a nice feature to be able to define
> from which side the Sheet component is sliding in. The discussion can be
