[TYPO3-hci] Main BE menu and top-right dropdownbox

[Denyer]

Hey chaps,

I isntalled RC1 of 4.2 this weekend and had a quick play. So far I like  
what I see, but there are a few minor and IMO one major issue I've come  
across so far. Hopefully, too, they shouldn't be too major to correct.

First (minor):
The menu now has a slightly warm-grey background colour, but all the  
editing and main pages still have the old-fashioned "cold" grey of Typo  
4.1. Can someone check this out and unify the shade of grey used across  
the interface? It's bad artistic direction to shift pallette like that.  
The entire UI should either be based in the warm or the cool side, not  
mixing the two.

Second (major):
The dropdown box that appears  in the top right to allow the user to  
select submodules is still here. And it's still a terrible UI idea. on my  
widescreen monitor it is very very far away from the point-of-context, and  
it has no label or any indication of it's purpose.
A much better approach, now the main menu is a semantic UL list, would be  
to do the following:

+ Page
- Template
   - Info/Modify
   - Constants
   - Template Analyzer
+ Etc
+ Etc


We have a nestable menu on the left side now, we must use it!! That way  
any submodules of the active module will be displayed in the main menu,  
the logical place to put them.

I apologise if this has already been raised and is being addressed, but it  
bugged me so badly today I just had to post on it.

Kind regards,
Denyerec
