Advanced user mode for the launcher

I liked the old Legacy launcher, mainly because it was stripped back. It had the bare essentials for its operation, nothing more. Error messages only came up when something bad was about to happen. Otherwise, it stayed silent. The new launcher is the exact reverse. It has too many menus, packing everything away too tightly. Any version of the game that is not the latest vanilla version (which I never use, due to Optifine being a staple for me) has this unnecessary warning symbol beside it, and whenever I start a new installation, it tells me some rubbish about it being "unofficial". "Yes MC launcher, I KNOW its unofficial, I just installed it with full knowledge of what I was doing, 30 SECONDS AGO". But enough ranting. My suggestion is: add a mode into the launcher (a checkbox in the settings) which disables all warning messages and pictograms like those described above, and makes all of the advanced settings more readily available.

  yes as a fellow optifine user its kinda annoying every time you go to launch the game having that little grey warning symbol while there is nothing wrong with the version.
