Make Dockable Dialogs in tabbing (switcher) style in Inkscape 1.0 - (Also works for other versions)

When you have multiple dialogs stacked on each other independently, on smaller screens, it takes so much space that you have to scroll to switch between them. You can share a dialog's space with multiple dialogs to make them switchable/docked by clicking the dialog switcher at the bottom of the shared space. 

Dialog space can be shared by dragging a dialog from label into the middle of another dialog (release when a rectangle appears in the middle of the dialog). If you don't want to dock it and want to place them independently, you can drag a dialog and release when you see a rectangle aligned to the sides (top, bottom, left, right). You can share the space of these independent dialogs to make them independently switchable.

By default, switchers show icon and label of dialog. And this makes them to stack on top of each other because the label takes some space and don't fit. If you don't want to use in that way, go to "Edit » Preferences » Interface" and change switcher style to "Icons Only" to make them fit side by side.
