Hi Jason

I didn't see that sentence in the road map page...
The basics for the RoundCube template/skin system are given and I think
it works well. Of course there will be some improvements by adding more
<roundcube:XXX> functions like for example if/else. First I intended to
add a XML file mapping the templates to all specific tasks and actions
(currently they file names are very static) to provide more flexibility
but I think this idea is going to die.

RoundCube is still under heavy development and new GUI objects like
buttons, search field, etc. will be added continuously. This makes the
maintenance of skins very laborious. We will add a skins-section to the
project website where all skins can be downloaded but I guess it's a bit
too early (alpha version).

However, your skin looks nice and I'd like to see it grow along with the
development of RoundCube. I'll let you know, when RoundCube officially
provides a pool of skins for download.

Regards,
Thomas
