Layers and Objects dialog improvements

Mike Kowalski requested to merge mkov/inkscape:object-dlg into master

A few tweaks to L&O dialog.

  • scrollbars are made non-overlapping, so they no longer obstruct "lock" icon
  • visibility and lock columns made narrower to better fit their icons
  • layer highlight color restricted to a new indicator column (as opposed to entire background)
  • restored standard selection color to be used with items in a dialog (it plays nice with mouse hover color)
  • hover flag clear on mouse leave
  • default highlight colors delegated to style.css file
  • label editing with space/return should not disappear anymore
  • layer-specific actions added to contextual menu (duplicate, rename, toggle lock/visibility, etc.)
  • shift-click on an eye icon toggles layer solo visibility (hiding others)
  • shift-click on a padlock locks other layers
  • add new layer dialog remembers position (above/below/sublayer) to speed up repeated uses
  • re-added layer to group and group to layer actions (context menu)
  • a bit of rearrangement for context menu to fit layer commands
  • modify right-click behavior to set current layer: this is of paramount importance for some context menu actions, as they act on a current layer

Highlight colors can be defined separately for dark and light color themes.
