Friends of me and I agreed that this login screen has neither a good 
usability nor a clean look (maybe the second point is a matter of taste, 
but i guess most people will agree that there is too much grey on the 
screen).

The login page is the first impression people have from TYPO3 when they 
use it the first time- so i think it's important to fix these issues.
