Alright. I'm going to follow up on this one a bit until we've got a clear vision of what the Space Browser design should look like.

After looking at some other apps that use the style of having a dark color theme or their left hand column, I had a try on improving and streamlining the current mockup for the Space Browser.

I still agree that the user experience in accessing linked objects is a problem, but I don't think implementing additional tables in an infinitely scrolling horizontal layout will work very well. I've got some potential solutions for that, but I'm going to do some more research and ask some more users before I post them here.

I like a lot of things in this except losing all that vertical space for
the “schema” tab. Can’t we make schema editing something you eventually
access from the left column? (Right click on class name or gearbox/edit
icon?)
