Thanks. By "main database window" do you mean the reference window? Or the list view? And if the former, do you mean to simply expand the tab panel so that there is no bordering window on the left and right (that's a look I played with during development)?
By "main database view" I mean reference window. The list view has the more finished look, similar to the prefs, IMO.
If I understand correctly, "expanding the tab panel" would give it a more "mail-like view" (one pixel divider?). Yes, that would also "modernize" the UI, IMO.
What I was referring to was the rounded border between the title bar and the lower portion of the preferences window (as well as the darker title bar and the lighter window below).
The bottom of the prefs window also has a thinner border than the top (which naturally draws one's eyes to the title bar at the top by making a subtle distinction).
Yes, that's clearer. Note that the reference window and the preferences can't look the same. The latter has a toolbar and a grow box. But I might be able to get it the look a little closer...

While the post may have been clearer, re-reading it again, I meant changing the list view UI to look more like the prefs.
I'm glad at least one of us "understood".
Sorry for more confusion.

No, absolutely not, it's a four pane window, quite unlike the others. There is no place (or need) for a tab panel there, and that's what gives the "rounded look" you like.
