Modified Rouncube View

[Joshua Layne]

I will admit that I have made that mistake with the green button, however I like the grayed out button when there are no more message (i.e. you are on the first message) and I also like knowing which message I am on and how many total messages there are.

what about the green arrows (with a grayed-out state) and the text "x of y" below them (centered underneath them)

my $0.01 on usability.
