[TYPO3-core] RFC: #7346: Have a list of open and recently edited documents

[Patrick Broens]

Hi Benni,

Would be nice if the icon changes somehow to show the user that there 
are actually open documents. Use gray icon when no open documents are 
available and use colors when there are open documents. Otherwise the 
editor has to open this list to see if there are any open documents.

If this is added I can remove the 'open documents' from the docheader in 
the edit mode of the List module, which is IMHO useless over there.
