[TYPO3-hci] devilish details - improvement suggestions

[Johannes Reichardt]

Hi Jacob,

sounds good. please add it to the wiki:

Maybe your idea could even be improved - in some sort of "customize BE 
mode" an admin could show/hide (collapse/uncollapse) all items that 
should be shown to the be user - the corresponding TS config would be 
inserted as well. That would be very intuitive and simple to setup the 
visual feeling of the BE for an enduser.
