Would be nice to have an option of choosing a "compact" interface

When you contrast web UI with native GUI, the realspace you lose in the web accumulates fast

All that padding makes it hard to see the actual information, especially for power users

Compare this with Navicat, or even DBeaver, their native tabs, buttons and cells are almost half the height of Outerbase Studio GUI

This is great feedback thank you, we will work on adding in a compact mode!

totally agree with this comment, a desktop UI should give me all the screen real state I can get, waste as little as possible in empty space.
