ATTRIBUTES Tool Window

[bpynn]

I wish for the new 2022 Attributes tool window to be different.  The intuitive nature of the old window was removed.  The ideal setup would be for the Headings of FILL and PEN to be more prominent, and visibly separated from each other to help with quick navigation.  maybe even a light box outline around them would help.  The Fill and Pen color windows need to be scalable, or go back to being bigger than the other headings.  Having all the attribute subwindows being the same size is visually confusing and not easy to jump in and out of.  Also, the black square on the left side of the Fill and Pen pulldowns should reflect the color you chose or just go away completely.  I keep thinking I am using black.  But...going back to the original request of just making the color boxes bigger might solve this last problem altogether.

and.........Was the ability to stretch the Attributes Palette in a vertical direction removed from 2022?? I can only stretch this palette horizontally now...seems odd.

Also, it would be nice to be able to remove/hide items which aren't used. For example, our office has never used drop shadows or per-item opacity. I would love the option to get rid of those to reduce palette size and improve usability for us. If working without GDI+ turned on (on a Windows machine), those options aren't even available for use anyway.

All other things being equal, the new layout allows for less room for the tool sets:
