TYPO3 Core

The dropdown box that appears in the top right to allow the user to select submodules is still here. And it's still a terrible UI idea.

On my widescreen monitor it is very very far away from the point-of-context, and it has no label or any indication of it's purpose.

A much better approach, now the main menu is a semantic UL list, would be to do the following:

+ Page
- Template
- Info/Modify
- Constants
- Template Analyzer
+ Etc
+ Etc

We have a nestable menu on the left side now, we must use it!! That way any submodules of the active module will be displayed in the main menu, the logical place to put them. The old fashioned dropdown in the top right can then be disposed of.

One possible workaround to improve the overall "scanning" and useability of the BE would be to width-limit the top header bar to the width of the eiditng area below. 1000 - 1300 pixels or such. When stretched out over 1920 pixels, there's a lot of mouse movement involved!!

This would be no real substitution to leveraging the UL main menu, though.
