[Neos] UI sketches for edit/preview

which modes are provided by default is an entirely different question... 
I am certain that there will be modes (made by someone) with image 
frames for iphone or ipad... as it seems to be the only way that some 
people understand, why it looks different...

anyway if there is an image around it or not doesn't bother me at all. I 
could just be a 5px black border or whatever.

and actually that wasn't even my point... my point was that every mode 
should have the possibility to edit. The editor should not care what is 
actually done behind the curtain as long as it changes what he wants to 
change :p [see google example, no need to go back from a "preview" to 
edit page properties -> meta data...]

just my 2 cents
