<br>
Great news.<br>
<br>
About the UI I would propose to add a minimal texture selector in
the Freestyle panel and a button under it that would go to the
selected texture in the standard texture panel.<br>
Of course I agree with the texture UI problem. Anyway I don't see
a good solution for this. So perhaps the only option right now is
to create a new type of texture in the standard texture system. <br>

Cool, thanks for the support.

I fully agree with the observation that the present way of context-
dependent switching between Properties tabs is very confusing. It's
a pity if Freestyle has to add another level of complexity to the
already complicated UI components.
I guess core Blender developers are aware of this UI design problem
and have accepted it (at least for now). It would be nice if the
proposed inclusion of textured strokes into Blender triggers a UI
revision to address the problem from a more general perspective.
I would definitely try to get some of the core Blender developers
involved in this discussion.
Best regards,
