Agreed. I thought a centered destination could be useful a little while after I wrote my email.
There could be a boolean style of 'centerOnOwner' (not a great name) which would be used in conjunction with the other style. That would allow the user to specify where the sheet slides in from, and whether it stays aligned to that side, or ends up centred, I don't think we need to be able to specify *both* where the sheet slides in FROM, and where it slides TO, but it would be possible with 2 styles named 'slideSource' and 'slideDestination' rather than the others mentioned above. SlideSource would allow LEFT/RIGHT/UP/DOWN, but not CENTER. SlideDestination would allow LEFT/RIGHT/UP/DOWN and CENTER.
