I wanted to know whether anybody modified the django admin templates such,
that the filter div could be hidden.

At the moment the <div> containing the filters may hide the
contents of the table.

As I can imagine, that I'm not the only one who might  have large tables
and doesn't like, that part of the table data is hidden behind these
filters I wanted to know whether anybody changed the templates / style
sheets / javascript such, that it is possible to
show / hide the filter window (similiar to how it is done for the
django debug tool bar.

Usage of jquery for showing / hiding is no wroblem as I juse jquery
already for other pages.

Thanks in advance for your answers.
