Yeah, that's what I meant - as in the mockup, usually there's only a little
button at the bottom area, clicking the button toggles the timeline overlay
effect.

Yep, I tried out tabbing - didn't like it. Another issue with tabbing is the
different sizes of the dockwidgets - it looks ugly when you stack two
differently sized dockwidgets together :) In any case I'd rather just leave
it the way it is so it continues to bug us until we find a proper resolution
:P

Yeah, that's essentially what I was suggesting :)

Already done.
