Hi
Just installed 0.8-beta and switched to Larry. I'm liking it a lot so
far. I first saw it on my desktop with 1680x1050 resolution, looks
really nice.
But then I logged on to webmail on my laptop (1280x800). It looks
really nice on there too, don't get me wrong. It's just that... IMHO
this interface is not really designed for low(er) resolutions. All the
buttons and icons take up a LOT of space, they take away space from the
main screen where you should see the email list. I can only see 8
messages when the preview panel is enabled.
Maybe it's just me using a crappy resolution and everybody has 1080p
plus ;) but this is my observation.
Otherwise, it looks really slick, I like the colors a lot, it looks
more polished ;)
Also, thanks for a great webmail application ;)

Hello folks
With the just published version 0.8-beta we proudly release the all
new user interface design of Roundcube, codename "Larry" out into the
wild. It isn't enabled by default but you can easily enable and test
the new look by setting $rcmail_config['skin'] = 'larry'; in your
local config/main.inc.php file. Many thanks again to our volunteer
designer at http://bueroflint.com for the great work!
Some plugins may not yet provide templates and styles for the new
skin, so expect certain things to appear broken. We hereby kindly
invite all plugin developers to adapt their plugins to the new skin.
The idea is to run the new skin under the name "larry" until all the
plugins with UI components are ready and then rename it to "default"
just before releasing 0.8-stable. The current default skin will then
be renamed to "legacy" and shall remain in the package for at least
one more major release.
We'd also like to mention that Internet Explorer 6 is no longer
supported from this version on. Roundcube itself still works with IE6
but the new skin doesn't and we'll officially drop IE6 support
anytime
soon. It has just been around for too long...
Beside the new UI, this version also contains some bugfixes and
improvements (see http://trac.roundcube.net/wiki/Changelog) as well
as
some code refactorings. These can potentially break some plugins if
they use calls to renamed or refactored functions. Please watch your
logs and in case you should notice any errors, please report them to
the according plugin developers. We'll come up with a complete list
of
renamed functions soon but for now you can get it from the following
thread on this list:
http://lists.roundcube.net/mail-archive/dev/2012-01/0000002.html and
http://lists.roundcube.net/mail-archive/dev/2012-01/0000029.html
In addition to the technical and visual changes, starting with this
release, Roundcube is now licensed under the GNU General Public
License (GPL) Version 3 or later (with exceptions for skins &
plugins)
as we recently announced on our website:
http://roundcube.net/license.
Please note that this is a beta release and we recommend to test it
in
a separate environment. The new skin most likely requires some more
CSS hacking until we're ready for the 0.8 stable release. As usual,
you are kindly requested to report all problems to our bug tracking
system at http://trac.roundcube.net
Have fun!
Thomas
