We should ask Chipp Walters for permission to use his altPlugin Palette and plugins: http://www.altuit.com/webs/altuit2/altPluginCover/about.htm Long time ago, i created this palette for editing the templates that i give to my fellow teachers: http://www.talkgraphics.com/showpost.php?p=239130&postcount=6 It was supposed to be skinnable and customizable, but my fellow teachers are not too savvy in visual graphics matters. The original shape of this palette is a circle, that you could move to any place in the screen. When you click the symbol, the identification of the teacher appears (a name or photo). Notice that both palettes are the same. You could display or retract the menu and buttons in either direction: horizontal or vertical. Teachers used a lot the "Image Frames" (drag and drop and image over the Frame to import an image) and the Screenshot tool (used to import an screenshot from the area of an object in the stack). As a result some of them made an excessive use of images in their stacks, converting text fields in transparent PNGs... only to discover that they had to retype everything to change or fix the text... :-\ (keeping all field properties inside a custom property solved this). Later, i included a warning that tells how much size each image add to the stack. I receive many ideas about possible enhancements to this palette: 1) screen rulers in pixels, cm and inches at the edge, 2) template layout palette (with image frames and text fields) 3) save serial copies of stacks. 4) Easy application of Color (and textures) schemes.
