[TYPO3-project-4-3] New back-end login looks

[Moreno Feltscher]

I absolutely agree! This new login screen looks ugly.. It doesn't fit the  
TYPO3 basic design at all. I liked the clear and clean login screens in  
the past; this is the way we should go. All this fancy colors an box  
styles are out of fashion, modern design looks quite different..

So please, please dear HCI team, take a look at this and come up with a  
new design..


Cheers,
Moreno
