ok then like the mockup I made but everything at the bottom 

----Brush options----
----Strip----
----Buttons----

The remove button couldn't be a red (-) or (x) icon that would show when 
leaving the mouse over the preset? sort of like the plus/minus icons when 
selecting images in gwenview (dunno if that's possible)

couldn't make a new mock-up cause krita keep locking up for some reason :(
I'm re-compiling now.
