See my initial post ("Colors should not matter").

Yeah, we should work on some class-A icons (already some good links in
HCI.pdf). Also, icons shouldn't be the point of mockups.
But thanks! I'll fix that one.

Another thing that bothered me with the Backend is that the existing
Tab-Menus are all blind-tables. This code of mine was done in 5 minutes
and is an unordered list with 6 lines of code.
That's also a usability issue for me -- to much 90's code in the
Backend, that's why it takes so long to load some things. I try to do
what I can (pagetree in 4.1, clickmenu in 4.2) but it's really a ton of
things to work on.

Yes, that's true! Thanks for the advice.

One search to find them all! I agree.
The mockup actually should demonstrate that having a global search on
top does the search in EM and TER.
