I'm good with palettes. I have quite a few (KM Inspiration Gallery) and even designed the Evergreen palette style in KM.
I have my Dock docked to the side of the screen and set to autohide. It doesn't take up any screen real estate until I want it. And, I use it to launch workflow KM macros. In the image below, those are all KM macros triggered by AppleScripts.
I want to use the Dock for several reasons:
- KM's palettes can't be toggled with a hot-corner or bump to the edge of the screen.
- I don't want a palette always on screen. I used to do that. I just gets the way far often than it's convenient, even when collapsed.
- I already use the Dock (for running applications) and don't want to have to manage yet another onscreen device.
- I've been doing it like this--KM macro launched from Dock icon--for a couple of years. It's convenient and efficient for me.
