Thats good. Its just the default opening workspace is 1/4 to each pane, and
realistically they will need the diagram, field selection and possibly
SQL panes open all the time. I agree the results pane is optional for
design time.

Your right, it was the diagramming pane I was referring to. Also the idea
of theming the table controls with the colour idea ought to be a database
scope setting (or optionally database scope) rather than View scope, would
mean some concept of a central 'project file' into which modules and
functions in pgAdmin have tyhe ability to write their settings, a sort of
'Registry' but stored in the pgsl backend.
In fact if we came up with a method of doing it Registry wise then
something like the view designer could determine its own 'hives' and 'keys'
and not care how, for example, the left hand tree view in pgAdmin stores
its own project related settings. What do you think Dave/Jean?
