Hello!

Our team is starting to work on changes to the results table, including:

1. changing unselected columns and row colors to grey
2. changing selected columns and rows to blue
3. differentiating header text so that field name is bold and datatype is in brackets
4. text is white when columns are selected
5. removing checkboxes in each cell
6. adding a triangle indicator for select all (top left corner)

Clicking a single cell inside the table will unselect everything else and only select that cell.

Here is an updated version of the table:

Please review these changes and provide feedback. We would like to implement them this week.


Thanks!

Agreed on all the responses thus far. The ability to distinguish values ranging from thousands to tens of thousands to millions, etc., is substantially harder if numbers are left-justified.

When we first released pgAdmin 4 we forgot to right-justify numbers.
Users complained. Lots. They need to stay right justified.

Right justifying makes it substantially easier to understand magnitude and makes it easier to get decimal alignment.
