It's more possible in a tablet (Qt Quick based) version.​ Even then
adhering to given platform's style (like Android) would be important too.

​Noted​

​. The question is how often users hide/show the sections. And why? Do you?
We'll need to know.
For now double-clicking shows/hides, with no visual information. It's not
clear if we will want to have this behaviour.

Of couse on Mac and Windows and elsewhere we'll want to adhere to
platform's behaviour as much as possible.

It's quite popular to make the headers distinct look compared to regular
(selectable/active) items.

OTOH, the new Outlook on Mac has it black but another nice property:
ALLCAPS that someone may like. The idea is to have distinct look, again
compared to the items.

​We'll experiment with having it somewhere for Kexi 3.x.
For now we don't want to compete with the Create tab.
Please note that the

BTW, I remember Adam has noted direct access to deleting actions is lost
now. This will be back in a form of a small icon on items -- later, before
2.9 stable.
