Very Nice. I really like it. I would vote Yes to using it as the new interface look. Looks like there are some hard coded hosts names in the show_login.html template. Do you have any examples of using iframe to incorporate qmailadmin into other web applications?

We have changed the look and feel and navigation. Our changes make it a snap to iframe qmailadmin into other web applications. This is the main reason we changed it. We also changed the way adding, managing, and deleting forwards and mailing lists are displayed in an attempt to make it less confusing to the user. I wrote a few weeks back asking who I should send the changes to and I was told to post them for download. As a result, we have set up a URL where you can go and download our changes. We have also added screen shots so you can see what some of the changes look like before do your install. We have tested everything heavily and as far as we know there are no bugs. I hope this helps some of you and we really hope it gets adopted as the new qmailadmin interface.

Tom, My partners and I will look into this. I know we can use tables to define the button borders instead of graphics which will still look pretty good. We could also us button styles to accomplish this. Either of these solutions with fix the language compatibility issue. I think it would be great if there was a way to specify whether you wanted to use language specific graphics for buttons or text buttons to comply with all languages. Another option is that we could include graphics for every language. We have a Photoshop template for all of the graphics. So changing the text in them is a snap. We could also include our Photoshop templates with the release if you might want to consider using the graphics buttons. Let me know which option would be best. When you do, we will begin work on it.
