What if on rollover would appear a normal palette with all the buttons
that would be in the subtoolbar? This palette would have an option for
pinning it, and that would mean inserting a subtoolbar between the
toolbar and the canvas like in the mockups.
Benefits:
- palettes don't disturb the layout of the underlying window,
- existing UI component,
- buttons are grouped closer to the main button, requiring less mouse travel,
- buttons are in an area not as thin, making easier to move the mouse
without going out (thus hiding the palette),
- we could keep the toolbar label.
Thoughts?
