Thanks a lot of investing time to this modification!, this is one of my wishes, to put some news items off public. But where can I find the option in the admin panel?

It's under "Current Theme" in the Configuration part of the ACP. :)

Updated to version 1.2. Only important change is that the mod uses txt['102'] as the default text for when the text field is left blank, to save time for translations. Update is not crucial. :)
