Great work on the theme. Thanks for the upload.
There are some things I noted:
- the new message div is a nice idea but indeed I see some problems: It floats on the columns header which makes it a bit hidden and does not contribute to its legibility. When you log off, there are no more columns and it looks strange.
the type of the message (error, notification ...) is just reflected through the border colour which makes it hard to identify which kind of thing is occurring and - that there is a message at all!!
Bottom line: I personally would centralize the font and locate it in the free space under the buttons and give it back its background colours.
- when composing a message, the action buttons (new, draft, send etc) are vertcially distributed
- the instant email search in the composing window is still highlighted in red. might be more approriate in blue/gray
- the folder handling is just perfect, nice arrows. great
- preloading the hover images would be nice as the is an ugly delay on the first load
- the rounded corner background for selected mails just works if you have the date column on the total right which was not my case. Not everyone uses the layout.... Had to correct it manually in the mail.css for my needs
- the "menu" for the folder actions is a great idea as it was just waste of space down there. No one really uses those tasks such often to justify that place. Though an icon would be nice. A small folder might be appropriate...
- in the preview pane as well as mail-only view the row for an attachment in the header still has a gray background
- The png-transparency problem is not solved for the buttons in IE6. There are a bunch of other IE 6 glitches which you will fix later on as far as I understood. As they are quite obvious, won't mention them here. Indeed, a full IE6 support would just be perfect as on the road the probabilty to be forced to use one is white high
- As for the rest it works just well and is a pleasure for my eyes especially when having to deal with a windows machine here at work
- Oh and a last opinion: I would distinguish between actions buttons (compose, delete, print, send etc) and views buttons (preferences, mail, address book, log off). I think it might be more approriate to just use the icons and make them more prominent (as for that: bigger). I find that more logical to click directly on my adressbook and not on a button that opens my adressbook.
- As for the Notes and To Do folders created by leopard mail I attached the two icons. in the respective files some changes makes them treated as the default folders (located on top of the other folders, make them localizable)
Throw the icons in /images/icons/
Then just add the two folders in /program/include/main.inc. It looks like this:
// for these mailboxes we have localized labels
$special_mailboxes = array('inbox', 'sent', 'drafts', 'trash', 'junk', 'apple mail to do', 'notes');
Then you can add the respective strings in your language file to translate them. For my case in program/localization/de_DE/labels.inc
$labels['apple mail to do'] = 'Aufgaben';
$labels['notes'] = 'Notizen';
To locate them on top of other folders just edit your main.inc.php at the default folders part.
Giving them the customized icons is made in the mail.css. Add:
#mailboxlist li.notes
{
background-image: url(images/icons/folder-notes.png);
}
#mailboxlist li.applemailtodo
{
background-image: url(images/icons/folder-todo.png);
}
