Hello *,

I'd like to share my approach and thoughts for the issue 
'tab/menubar-design for backendmodules'. I made some mock-ups to 
illustrate the whole thing:

http://screens.typoheads.at/t3_tabs/


As you can see the basics for this design are coming from flex_forms 
without t3_skin (from v 4.x) enabled. This approach has IMHO some 
advantages:

* users will see elements of a BE-design which is already known
* it is scalable: new rows can be added as you can see with quicklinks
* users can 'switch' off rows as they like (with the little +-icon on 
the outer right side)
* users can acces submodules in two ways: either via the second row or 
via the :hover-menu in the mainmodules
* if we use the same css-classes as in flexforms, tabs will be 
'automatically' designed (as it is now with t3_skin and flex_forms) >> 
less work (now and in future)
* at least it looks like TYPO3 :-)


disadvantages:
* of course kasper (and maybe some others) did a lot of work already
* it was shown on t3con (is this an argument or not...)
* hmmm, come up with something...


I'd like to offer my help on the programming level for realising this 
menubar, please keep me updated if you need somebody.


Have fun,
Boris
