Show icon dock on Select a Plant page #42

Thanks for implementing the vanishing dock. I'm sorry I asked for it -- it looks good but it's annoying from a user perspective.

Users are going to want to flip between all the views quickly. Sometimes they'll click the top button and want to view the top page, then quickly bounce down to one of the lower pages. But the icons disappear so it forces the user to re-enter their plant manually. It would be better if we simply show all the dock icons from the start, and not bother with shifting the position of the main window.
