It's quite obvious that some kind of popup is needed. But that's not 
saying anything new. I need very specific suggestions now which can be 
analyzed thoroughly. If you haven't read the wiki page, please do it to 
see what I mean. We have to think about the visibility, size, mouse 
movement length, amount of mouse clicks, different use cases...

That could be one way to make choosing between two widgets easier, but 
It would clutter the UI. I would rather place it in the View menu or 
config dialog, though your suggestion gives a quicker and easier way to 
change the widget. And I would still prefer one well-designed widget 
over two worse ones.
