[TYPO3-core] RFC: make the page tree filter pretty

[Ingmar Schlecht]

Hi Benni,

+1 based on testing and reviewing the code, I like it.

The only thing that disturbes me a bit is the white background color of
the bar. I think the skins usually define different background colors
specifically, with css classes like bg3 or so. Could you change it to
one of those?

cheers
Ingmar
