Title: Should this be done through a plugin?
Post by: andros69 on September 16, 2009, 11:27:23 PM

Hi all,

I had a question. Switching from a horizontal to a vertical mailbox list (a three column layout), would you think this should be done through a plugin or through theme?

I played with it when creating a theme but was thinking that maybe this would be better done through a plugin.

• Aside from the obvious UI changes, to do this well one should really change how the message list table is displayed (since a narrower list doesn't make sense with the same table view).
• In addition, switching the layout makes more sense to do it through Settings > Mailbox View > Main Options rather than by switching themes.
• Lastly, this feature would then, in turn, be also available to any theme.

Any thoughts? Would this make sense to be done through a plugin or do you think this is better left to skins?

Thanks!

PS: I'm not a programmer, so unfortunately I don't know how to do it myself. Would this be hard to do?

Both.

For a non- or novice programmer, yes.
