    <blockquote> <p>The entire linux desktop doesn't have the visual integrity of OSX for instance, and I wonder why. If there is any example of a nice integrated Linux environment, please please please show me, I really WANT to use Linux.</p> <p>(and I know, there's QT, and other managers like KDE etc. I noticed the same thing, so it probably isn't GTK or Gnome alone)</p> </blockquote> <p>You basically just answered your own question - Mac OS X has <strong>one</strong> desktop environment (centered around Cocoa), which has a lot of very good programmers <em>and</em> designers spending much time designing, discussing and implementing it.</p> <p>With "Linux", there's not only different window managers (Gnome, KDE, Flux/OpenBox, Enlightenment, etc etc), there's different UI toolkits (QT, GTK+, Tk, wx, etc etc), different versions (in common use), and countless different ways of using/implementing them.. Compare <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_widget_toolkits#Based_on_C_or_C.2B.2B_.28including_bindings_to_other_languages.2" rel="nofollow noreferrer">List of (mainly) Linux GUI toolkits</a> compared to for <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_widget_toolkits#On_Macintosh" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Macintosh</a> (all of those, bar Cocoa, are for old Mac OS versions).</p> <p>There's many good designers and programmers working on GUI toolkits, but they are spread over so many different projects. Even if they somehow were put onto a single project (Say, "wxQtGnome"), there would still be countless applications that use a different framework, or even a different version of one.. Then you still have the problem with inconsistency. Again, compared to Mac OS X, where if you have a GUI application, chances are it will be using Cocoa (which has a decent UI creation tool, which helps developers layout applications according to Apples Human UI Guidelines)..</p> <p>As for a nice, integrated linux desktop environment - I would say the default Ubuntu installation is probably the closest to this. A decent theme, and all the applications fit fairly well together.</p>

    1. COThere is no "GTK". Perhaps you're thinking of GTK+ 1.x and GTK+ 2.x.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
