However, especially for something called a "Color bar", space should be better utilised: - when full-width horizontal, the cells are very wide and there is a tiny scrollbar, when it could instead fit all the colours in two rows of squares without needing a scrollbar that is small to the point of inusability. - when full-height vertical, the number of columns should change depending on how wide the bar is (and reduce the width if there is plenty of vertical space to use, so there is minimal unused grey space). I understand that palettes have a fixed grid size, which makes it look nicer when hues are aligned, but consider alternatives like the attached screenshot of Inkscape 1.2.2, with in my opinion a significantly improved UI: - single row of squares - uses full width of window - dropdown to change palettes - two buttons to go up and down if there are overflow colours in the palette. On top of that, I agree with OP that it should be possible to have a vertical Color Bar that is independent of the visibility of the Sidebar or the Pages pane. I think this ticket needs to stay open even if focusing only on the docking location and the efficient use of screen real-estate, ignoring the drag-and-drop issues. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
