I was thinking it makes sense to have similar things in proximity. Both the search and the sort are to do with the workspace items, it makes sense to me to put these controls together.

Also this is a consistency thing: some tabs have titles, some don't. Either let's give them all titles, or let's lose the big header on the tabs altogether maybe: if it's not serving any purpose, why use the space? Also with this, the headers create a division / barrier between the projects and the controls to edit / properties etc. Previously these controls were much more clearly associated with the list of projects in the workspace. Could we put those buttons in the header perhaps? It does make sense that they are more closely associated with the project list, as the projects are the things they control.

By default the project details tab, the central one, doesn't look very nice as it's very narrow.

This is what we have now, which I like a lot: it's clean / FWS etc.

And this is what we have in x3 which looks nice, but could still do with a few tweaks to make it really lovely:

I would leave the search box where it is but make it less wide and put the title to the left. It seems more inuititive to have the search at the top rather than the bottom.

What do you think of the idea of moving the search box down next to the 'Sort your files' drop down, and then we can give all three tabs titles:

Your Projects, Project Details, Project Templates
