Hello
The new theme 'larry' removed the link on the logo that navigates back to the inbox overview. For me and I guess a lot of users it was convenient to click on the logo to go back to the inbox overview. This is how most of the websites work and kind of a common UI pattern.
I could write a custom plugin to overcome this issue.
What is the reasons behind the removal of the link? I think a link adds additional value and not interferes with the new design.
Any other thoughts on this?
PS: Next week we will switch our webmail from 0.7.3 to 0.8.1. Our current email user base is about 40k. 10k users have a last_login date within the latest 60 days. So far we are very happy to switch to the new skin. Good work!!!
Regards Dominic

(though I hate to sound like a broken record, the space for the logo is so small now because of the top dark grey linen bar, our logo no longer fits - half covering the buttons below. . . The roundcube logo looks great just dipping across the black bar onto the light grey linen. Ours does not. I suppose we can shrink ours to make it fit. . . to about the size of the "folder actions" gear icon, but that seems unfortunately disproportionate.)

Hi,
We're in the exact same situation, testing 0.8.1 before switching and the main complain about larry from test users is the lack of link on the logo. And everybody ask about a possible reason for such a removal, as it was very frequently used for quick navigation. Manually adding a link is on my todo list before the switch, it would be nice if the link could be re-enabled. Perhaps as a config option if there is a good reason for removing the link.
Regards,
Edouard Moreau
