Hi Pavel,

Thanks for the comments. I have a question about right-to-left orientation.

As the effect of "this instanceof RecentSwatchPanel", with first version of
 my patch is applied, if left key is pressed when choosing color on
recentSwatch, it move the focus to the color on right side; but when choose
color on mainSwatch, left is still left. And when the focus is on the tab,
left key also move the focus to the tab on left side, as well as controls
on other tabs. I only found this left-right reverse on RecentSwatchPanel, I
removed the code related.  Can you give some information about what is the
right behavior?  Is it "default on top-right, grows from right-to-left, but
left key still moves left" ?
