Continuing the discussion from Mark's Odds and Ends Bug List:

@LewnWorx

I find this somewhat comical: I’ve set my osnaps off on the sidebar, but there they are. I’ve got the osnap settings mapped to a spare button on my kensington trackball, as it saves a trip over to the sidebar, and gives more room for tool icons on the sidebar, yet often the snap settings show up of their own accord for no explicable reason when I have them set off.

That change would only show up in a new modeling window (which it states at the bottom of the screen)…perhaps we need to blink this or something when a setting has changed…?

@LewnWorx

I have no clue why the sidebar pallette selector is grayed out, it’s always been that way and I can’t figure out what I need to do to change it.

Wow, that’s a funny one. Looking at the code was the only way that I could figure out how to enable the Sidebar palette dropdown and set it to a custom palette. Ouch. For some reason, the only way to enable the Sidebar palette is to disable (uncheck) the Show ribbon bar. @marlin, can you help here? Is there some logic here that I’m missing? Perhaps it’s that we don’t want the selected Ribbon item to override the sidebar palette? Or…?

That was the only way I could get it to work as well, and one should be able to do both. Prolly a logic problem in the themes dialog somewhere.
