While I see the value of portlet-level control, it exceeds my current
*needs* - not to mention my technical abilities to fix it myself ;) If I
could change the control's template, it would be sufficient.
The default layout seemed a bit "busy" to me - especially when the
action-icons will only rarely be used once a user has configured their
screen. By getting rid of the foreach-action-loop in the template, the look
of the screen immediately improved. Now I am hoping to dynamically bring
back the "actions" just for the rare ocassions when they are needed.
