Greg Brown commented on PIVOT-682:
----------------------------------
Actually, here is a reason why sheets should slide out from and remain attached
to the top of a widow: modal windows like dialogs and sheets require input from
the user, and users read from top to bottom. Visually, the eye will be directed
towards the top first - the fact that it is horizontally centered serves to
emphasize the importance of the interaction. A modal window positioned anywhere
else will be confusing, and will not convey to the user that immediate
attention is required.
This means that the Tray concept is probably flawed as well, unless it is
implemented as a modeless window (and, now that I think about it, that is
exactly how Trays are implemented on OS X). I'd suggest that we consider other
alternatives for sliding non-modal content into view.

> Dear All,
> As discussed over the forum, it would be a nice feature to be able to define
