I've got an idea how we could somewhat solve the "hard to read vertical text"
problem on the dock buttons, and at the same time make the docks more usable.
What about this: If you hover a dock-button, and that dock is not open yet, it
should be automatically expanded in non-attached mode(Overlapping the
editor-area or the currently open dock on that side).
Then the user can see what the docks are by just hovering them, and when he
wants to keep a dock, he'd click it. The dock should be usable, and should
disappear as soon as the mouse leaves the dock-button/dock area.
Then imo we also would not need that "attach/unattach" button any more.
I think this would improve the usability of our docks.
Greetings, David
