Christian Lippka had this almost finished. I recall the picture from
this thread
http://www.mail-archive.com/dev@de.openoffice.org/msg30669.html it had
a side panel defined in xml. It would be interesting to investigate if
the work was done on some private repository in Hamburg, or if it is in
some CWS on http://hg.services.openoffice.org/; and rescue it, avoiding
to reinvent the wheel.
He was also doing a nice job with the svtools::ToolbarMenu in the
toolbar controllers: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_eO0X_eO6Ww
Christian is an Apache OpenOffice committer and already contributed his
improved color picker to Apache OpenOffice, so if he wants he can merge
his improvements any time.
The video seems to be from the "Renaissance4" CWS, still in HG. I
absolutely don't know whether this CWS contains the layout engine
improvement too, though.
I talked to Christian and he confirmed that the video was from the
code in the http://hg.services.openoffice.org/cws/renaissance4/
child workspace.
He doesn't think that the XML-defined sidepanel work got far enough to
be worth picking.
I'm afraid Christian is too busy in his new job to work further on such
OpenOffice topics, but everyone knows him to be very constructive and
cooperative.
I'm BCC'ing him in case he wants to jump in. Hi Christian! :-)
