Merge some features of Color window into Swatches window
I've always wished the "Color" window and "Swatches" were sort of merged... I wont' bother explaining why its useful to keep the Swatches window open, as i have to assume everybody is constantly using this. I toggle over to the Color window when i'm viewing the color name and swapping the color/fill. In the latest update of Illustrator, they've updated Swatches to include a stroke and fill selector (as well as a list of recent colors, which is pretty cool). they've not however included the swapping arrow, display name of color, or that little default fill selection. can we please just add this little section to the top of swatches and i can pretty much be done with the Color window! I've attached a doctored example of what it might look like.

Jane, you have to expand your request.
You say panels for working with color are simpler in InDesign.
One can object they are way to simple. Another will respond they are quite similar. What is obvious to you can be viewed from a different point of view by others.
What is difficult? What elements are not necessary? Why? What do they miss? Can you give examples of your workflows in Ai and InD and compare efforts? -

Why are there so many different panels in Illustrator for working with colors? The color-making panels in InDesign are so much simpler than Illustrator. It's super cumbersome and reminds me of trying to design something in MS Word. Simplify please. Make it like InDesign.
