I have. Not all the html is in the templates. If you look at the templates, you'll see parts missing, and those parts are embedded in the sqwebmail binary. Colors and all. The sqwebmail binary sends the formatted html to the web browser. If you want to change the things that you can change in the templates, you'll need to edit the correct files in the source code and recomple. Then you'll see your changes. It's not too difficult, but it's not for the faint hearted either. The real trick is for you to find where in the sqwebmail source code is the html that will change what you want. Knowing c will help you find this more quickly, but if you're persistent enough you'll figure it out. If this seems like more than you've bargained for, you might want to look at using courier-imap and using an imap based webmail program like squirrelmail or imp. They might not be as lean or fast as sqwebmail, but unless you have a large volume of webmail users, it shouldn't be a big deal. I use squirrelmail in production primarily because of the module architecture (lots of 3rd party functionality), and I don't have any really high traffic mail domains. In contrast, at my old job we deployed a free email service for nursefinders.com that had upwards of 20,000 users, so we used sqwebmail. The look of nursefinders.com is fairly customized.
