New Skin for Roundcube, LiteCube

[bosse]

This theme is awesome! Great work! I'm looking forward to it so much!

I would prefer the searchform on the top right of the tabs like it is in the inbox.

I agree with bosse - much the same as the other screens!

Attached is some feedback on the Address screen.
Looks very good! Any idea when you think you'll be finishing the skin?

[bosse]

Here's a screenshot of the new upcoming roundcube skin we will be releasing soon. It's called LiteCube, designed for Roundcube 0.4-stable. It's a clean, simple and easy to use GUI. You can view screenshots and get updates here: Roundcubeskins.net

It will be free for personal use and we will be offering support and upgrade packages for those that need it.

This will be a supported and maintained by NutsMail. We have different designs in production which "LiteCube" is our first release.

We're shooting to have it ready by the end of August. If you're interested in Beta testing the skin just leave a reply here or PM me.

I hope you enjoy it.

Yup we're still at it. We've had a lot of projects happening at the same time but we've hired another top notch programmer who will be moving this forward a lot quicker.

The design has also been changed to match the new 0.4.2 version and to simplify the upgrades. Any feedback is always welcome.

This will for sure be my new default skin when it arrives. Any chance of getting on the beta test list?

[bosse]

It would be so sad if this theme will never be published. It is already a lot of work done which can be seen from the screenshots. However, there are no news for over a month neither in this thread nor on Roundcube Skins and Themes or twitter. I start worrying!

If there is any help needed - please tell us! Testing, css programming etc.
The main point is not to quit the project, because its such a great work!

That's the problem with themeing. It takes a lot of time and effort to weed through the templates and make changes. and with each iteration of RC, a lot changes to the point that there it forces tons of rework on the themes.

I would much rather see improvements made to the default skin, either collaboratively or individually than see more progress on the skins.

well, i agree. As it can be seen from many good skins for older versions, they somehow disappeared when new versions were coming up. So the best way would be to create an awesome default skin.

It says in the roadmap for version 0.7 a skin redesign would be planned.

Why not setting up a collaborative group of design orientated programmers who create a new default theme?

[cyberdan]

Yup, it's definitely time consuming getting these skins made, each page is it's own template. Good news is that we're still at it. I've had to make some adjustments now that we're in the implementation stage. The designer can dream up beautiful things but implementing it is a different story. So Chris, our top-notch programmer has made me change a few things although it's still true to the original style.

I won't give an eta as the last few we weren't able to complete as scheduled but we're still at it.

Here are 2 screenshots of the main inbox page. I would like to know if people would prefer text buttons for reply, reply all, forward etc or a cleaner look with no text much like the default skin?

Thanks for your input.

My vote:

No text buttons. It saves space to hook into with plugins.

my vote : no text
