I'm considering using floating palettes in an object oriented graphics
editor (as per a large number number of graphics programs including
MacPaint 2.0).  I vaguely remember someone mentioning an article on
how to do them.  Does any one have this reference?  Or for that matter
does anyone have any example source code that does them?  Are such
palettes considered a serious violation of the user interface
guidelines?  Is there or will there ever be an Apple approved
mechanism for them?  Is there something people like better?
