Description
It would be nice to have some more options in the ERD-tool:
Mostly the schema name is not so important maybe not even needed to read and understand a diagram.
For this an option to hide the schema name completely for all table boxes would be nice.
To save space, an option to show the tables' names directly in the title-bar of their boxes. If schema names are not hidden, there could be shown the full qualified name. - Saves 1 or 2 lines for each table.

Research direction
Start by locating the ERD tool's view-options entry point and the code that renders table boxes. Trace how schema and table names are currently displayed, then check existing ERD option behavior. Done means users can hide schema names and place table names in title bars, with fully qualified names shown when schemas remain visible.
