It took me a while to get this, but now that I understand it, I like it. The basic idea is to make the current palette appear with no delay on rollover, but not directly under the cursor. The user is not dissuaded from clicking on the primary icon, which remains accessible, but the secondary options are also immediately visible. The obvious problem with this is that the palette may cover another nearby icon, preventing the user from accessing it. A simple solution, in the circle view, would be to make the palette always pop "out", away from the center. Michael proposes a more aesthetic solution, changing the geometry of the palettes to curve around the outside of the circle.
