I saw (the attachment above) these two on the writer's notebookbar, and
wondered if they can be merged into a hybrid widget which functions like MSO's
visual dropdown widget.

I am working on the task, after reading the existing code, it seems very much
possible atm.

I have been chasing eye-candy for the past one year (theming) and other eye
candies before that. i, as an eye-candy engineer ;) think that this is
important specially for impress as it is a visual tool and the current workflow
isn't ideal.
