It could be combiened with the control docker.

The Karbon color selector has no HSV or Gray selector. Currently I use the 
KoColorChooser, but I think it wouldn't be very difficult to include the one 
from Karbon

You are right there isn't much space for the docker.

I just finished the implementation of the dockers. I only have to get out the 
sidebar of the code, which seems to be more difficult than I thougt.
In the screenshot it is just hidden.
