Mockup #2

Coming back to this topic.

I think we agree on the general layout. Regina mentioned that we have 12 border
lines in total (depending on single/multi selection) and Telesto is unhappy
with the workflow. In fact there are two scenarios: a) (most common) apply the
same attributes for some borders such as the surrounding edges, and b) set
individual attributes (for example red on top, blue on bottom).

This second mockup shows two alternatives. First we could present toggle
buttons for all 12 options plus some combined defaults. This makes the UI quite
busy. So I wonder if we allow to set attributes for a few common combinations
(similar to what we have today as Presets) and have all individual settings
accessible per dropdown.

To deal with the potentially large dialog I suggest to place Padding and Shadow
(forgot to change the label Width to Distance) into expanders and use a
scrollbox for the attributes.
