Old admin layout

I just upgraded our QA server to OTRS 6 and I wonder if it's possible to somehow switch to the OTRS 5 admin layout. From my view the new admin layout lacks overview and especially readability, I don't care about fancy icons but rather about quickly being able to see where I need to go. The same goes...

Re: How to disable queues grouping

the filter speeds up daily work a lot. Not for us. Also when you click on a mainqueue that is inactive it doesn't give you the active sub-menu's but rather a 'create a new queue' field.
