Thread: Visual clutter in default view when viewing table data
I notice that the default view in pgAdmin when viewing table rows seems extremely cluttered. This is in contrast to otherclients on the Mac. I have attached screenshots to illustrate. I am unfamiliar with a lot of pgAdmin functionality. But I wonder if it makes sense to not have the following panes hiddenby default when view table rows - scratch pad - query history - query editor Imho, doing so could improve the user experience --Luther

Hi Luther,
Not everyone would agree on this. But, you can raise a request here -https://redmine.postgresql.org/projects/pgadmin4/issues/new so that we can discuss on possible ways to do that.

One thing that helps with readability is intercalating the colors of the table lines (white, light gray, white, light gray....). That would be a very nice addition.

That would be pretty easy, as the generated HTML has an "even"/"odd" class.
I'm not suggesting that's that's a sensible user work-around, I'm just pointing out that that's how simple it would be... just add the above line to the .CSS file.
You can even manually alternating row styles by bringing up the browser's developer console (F12) and manually adding the following rule to the applied styles
.ui-widget-content.slick-row.even { background-color: #f8f8f8; }
Cheers,
Dave
