yes, and this is achieved now.
I tried to keep the tabs simular in all page types so it's logical and easy
to remember.
It's not easy to find a grouping that fit's all needs so we have to find the
most common way for it.
btw - if using palettes and not the option "Show secondary options
(palettes)" there is a button that hide/unhide palettes with JS.
