mockup

After working on the Line section in bug 89543 and a the new Shadow section in
bug 87702, it was clear that the Area section also needed a revamp.

So the basic principle of the new design is to move the main fill and
transparency drop down lists from underneath the label to the right of the
label, which leaves the entire second row for customizing the options.

The original fill gradient only shows a drop down list of presets and instead
of that, we let the user create their own gradient. The gradient angle drop
down list includes values in increments of 15. If its not possible to add extra
space to fill two rows of controls when gradient is selected, then fit the four
controls in one line in this sequence - type, angle, color from, color to. The
color from and color to would need to be change to icon-only drop drop downs
like font color and highlighting in the character section.

With transparency, the drop down list on the right will only contain none,
solid and gradient. When gradient is selected a gradient only drop down list
control appears next to the current gradient settings control.

The attached mockup shows the area section in when various options are
selected.
