I like the artwork a lot but I completely disagree with your (and 
other's) approach of making TYPO3 kinda-sorta-like-some desktop 
application. I *never* use double clicks when browsing, I hate 
JS-Windows (and my ad-blocker does, too) because they don't feel like a 
native window no matter how you style them.

I'd rather appreciate a truly web-centric UI.

Greetings,
Michael
