Say hello to the new face of Roundcube
September 28, 2011 44 Comments
We’re very happy to give you a first preview of the all new skin for Roundcube webmail. It was created by FLINT, the very talented graphic designer who already designed our website. He worked hundreds of hours for free just to make Roundcube the best-looking webmail software on the planet. And the results are overwhelming: the design is very stylish and modern while remaining clear and functional and it makes our current default skin look like Squirrelmail 
See all the drafts at our Flickr page.
The fake contents of the screens are in German and they include some features which are not yet implemented but it’s nice to have an idea of the future.

Very very cool, looking forward to this! Thanks for your work, Roundcube is an amazing project!
Looks really nice. We look forward to use it.
Thanks for the amazing work.
Thanks a lot for mentioning
Looks awesome!! When can I get my hands on the new skin!?!? Thanks for all the hard work! Roundcube is the best webmail client by far!
That is absolutely beautiful! A couple questions, will version 0.7 of Roundcube support a built in calendar as is shown in this screen shot? Also when do you expect this version/theme will be released? Very excited for this, and thanks for your excellent work.
There already is a calendar plugin available for Roundcube and yes, we’ll most likely integrate it one day as a fixed part of the package. There’s no exact roadmap for the new skin. What you see are first drafts and it’ll take some months to finish and implement this new and rather complex UI.
That design blows me away, can’t wait to start using it.
WOW…Again, WOW. I’m excited to see this interface at work!!
I wan’t this interface Now!
woohoo this looks awesome, looking forward to install this !
Awesome. But please, please, please, move the “send” button in a prominent position, as it is now I literally have to scan the screen to find it (I am always tempted to press the green “back arrow on the toolbar).
is it avaialble…where to download….if not when will it be released…
I put some more screens of the new Roundcube skin on my Blog http://blog.bueroflint.com/en/2011/10/05/roundcubes-new-face/
Cheers, Michael
Michael,
Do you know when this new design will be available to the public? I’m excited to use it!!
Cheers,

Hello to all … I would like to take off a question about RoundCube. Well, how do I send an email to all my contacts at once like in gmail webmail for example? Why not facilitate this option for all who use RoundCube? I believe that such improvements would be welcome to us all. Hugs and awaiting solutions like this. Thank you.
That is awsome, I can’t wait to use it! Go go go!!!
Can’t wait !
I should’nt have read this post, now I’ll check this blog every day T_T
We… need… it…
its super!!!!
Absolutely nice; eagerly waiting!
“it makes our current default skin look like Squirrelmail”
Great work
I just love roundcube
can’t wait to see it ! when it will be available ?
I hate to keep bugging, but what is the latest update on integrating this skin with Roundcube? From what I read it will not be released with 0.7, can we expect to see this with later versions, or is there a date in mind for release? We’re all very excited to start using this skin, it’s so beautiful!
The screens you can see here are plain Photoshop files and it takes some time to turn them into a functional Roundcube skin. But we’re working on it and you can expect the new skin to be available approximately in February 2012.
Thank you for the news. Good job and God bless you all for making the best product on the planet
That would be so cool i’m looking forward to it.
This is the best design for webmail client i ever seen!
I just wanna to say one word to you and the developers behind you : AWESOME!!!
It’s just porn. Great Work.
how to get this superb…
The only way to get it is to be patient and stay tuned on the announcements
I just wanted to say how clean the UI is and look well laid out.
You shouldn’t have dangled such an enticing carrot so many months out !!!!!
Looks great, but will it be optional – with the current being the default? That might save some calls to customerservice for providers of e-mail services
The new design will definitely become the default skin in future versions but the old one will remain in the distribution for a while. It’s the provider’s responsibility to prepare their users for the switch in order to keep support calls at a minimum level.
love the proposed design. Can I please request that the double-click behaviour for opening messages takes into account users on tablets who don’t have double click abilities? Would be nice if it were able to detect if android/iWhatever and amend its bhaviour accordingly.
Look forward to seeing progress on the new skin. Thanks for your continued efforts – outstanding work. Best regards, Paul A.
This is great news. The new interface really looks awesome, its getting closer to a full blown application.
Epic! Go for it!
This new interface and CalDAV and CardDAV support! nothing could beat roundcube!
I have been using Afterlogic semi-successfully and have stumbled upon Roundcube here and am very excited to switch to this platform. Much less monster-like code and very fast compared to AL.
When do you suppose the new skin will be out? That’s the tasty icing on the cake. I saw above that Feb was mentioned but also not until after .7 and the roadmap shows 50%-ish completion to the next release..
A little light / update in that regard would be great!
Thanks! Glad to come aboard ^_^
Looks amazing; do want.
I am very excite.
exciting look and feel – looking forward to upgrading with the new skin…
do you have a date ?
A first beta version with the new skin is planned to be released by the end of February.
Ohhhh!! Yeah!! That’s good news ^_^
PS – I was hacking around in ur code and nice job. Very clean compared to other available alternatives. It shows in performance for sure.
thk you
Awesome. Now we have to develop some groupware plugins and we can throw exchange in the bit bucket!
