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!

Hi - not sure where 'potential bugs' in Larry should be reported but here's hijacking this thread (writing this with Larry now)...
- I have the Larry 'reply all' button working on the top (taskbar?)
set of 'mail' options, but not on the reply-all button in the 'mail preview' window. It's possible I broke it by modding other bits of apps.js - I don't think so though.
- The contacts list enabling code in apps.js has been moved (copied)
out of the 'addressbook' task section into the 'mail'/'compose' task/action section. It would be more useful (to me...) if it was just moved into the 'mail' task section of apps.js still using the 'if (this.gui_objects.contactslist) {' control flow, i.e. check for the gui object but not the 'compose' action. This doesn't affect Larry.
- The new contacts list code in the 'mail' task is using internal
names such as 'adressbookslist' and 'list-adresses' i.e. 'adress' is mis-spelt in English. Existing functions in Roundcube correctly spell the (English) 'address' part of the names. There is not a potential name clash (I've searched all files) and I suggest those new 'adress' names could be globally re-spelt 'address' to minimise future errors.
Thanks for all the work.

That was indeed a typo in the skin template. Fixed in r5955.

Done in r5956

Typos corrected in r5955.

As far as I can tell on the SVN server (I'm new to SVN) version r5956, it doesn't seem to me these changes are actually in "program/js/app.js" ...

Yes they are.

svn up should do the trick.

One more thing re Larry code in apps.js:
Javascript function "compose_recipeint_select()" has 'recipient' mis-spelt (in English) although the adjacent function compose_add_recipient() is spelt ok.

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 ;)

Same problem on my laptop, I cannot see all my folders, ii doesn't look good with the scrollbars.
Maybe it would be a good idea to reduce the height of the list elements!? (just for small devices?)

Yeah, same here with the folder list. I didn't want to mention it but yeah, I have the same problem, with ~20 folders. The buttons in general are too big (at the top right (Mail, Addr. Book, Settings), or on the left bottom side (in the Folder panel or Contacts panel), the ones at the top for actions (Refresh, New mail, etc). They all should be more like the size of the 'Logout' icon, which is pretty neat and small (but not too small).
It definitely is wasting some space and you start to notice that if the resolution is reduced.
