Title: Dark mode
Post by: rpc on March 26, 2026, 06:11:47 PM
I wrote a plug-in for RoundCubeMail 1.7 that patches dark-mode to work in the message viewer and the message editor.

I hope someone can use it as well as myself.

The plugin looks good. One thing I don't see is a way to switch to light / default mode in case there is a message that needs to be view in the original form.

You are right, I just use the "sun" icon in the left side panel.

But I understand that it is a good thing to have a toggle in the message panel itself, like in Thunderbird where I myself use the toggle once in awhile. It would also be good to have when viewing a message in a new window.

That is something I can look at.

I have added a button to the message viewer toolbar, that can toggle to and from light mode. It is only there when the RCM application is in dark mode.

Thanks for the addition! I'll add it to my next 1.7 install.
