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.
The Roundcube Inbox 
Very very cool, looking forward to this! Thanks for your work, Roundcube is an amazing project!
+1
I know this takes a lot of work… Thanks to all the members of the dev team!
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.
Oh PLEASE! That would be awesome. I’ve been trying for years to get that calendar plugin to work and have never been able to. Integrated calendar would be BRILLIANT!.
Oh YES please! I’ve been trying to get that calendar plugin to work for years and never managed. An integrated calendar would be BRILLIANT!
That design blows me away, can’t wait to start using it.
WOW…Again, WOW. I’m excited to see this interface at work!!
yes its impressive but the main thing is admin panel which is missing.
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!
Awsome!
Hope you can come out with a more accurate release date 🙂
But that would totally kill the surprising factor…
LoL
Good job guys, keep it on! Thanx!
Awsome design, will try when becomes public.
Hoping to see this soon … very sleek looking design.
When will be?!!!!
The release 0.8-beta with the new skin is now available for testing.
Read the announcement at https://sourceforge.net/news/?group_id=139281&id=306501 and download it from http://roundcube.net/download
Thanks for you patience!
Best i ever seen!
In version 0.5.x, the German “Umlauts” (special characters) in the address lines are replaced by codes when opening an unsent email.
In version 0.7.x, additionally, the real mailbox name is displayed in the window title bar (e.g. “sent”), and not the names in the appropriate language (e.g. “Gesendet”).
And – when you open an email (a draft or a copy of another email as new), the entries in the CC and BCC fields are being deleted.
I think that Roundcube is a very good webmailer, but I also think there should be taken more care to avoid adding new errors to existing functions. At the moment, I am thinking about going back to version 0.3.x, as this version required least work (within 0.3.x, 0.5.x, 0.7.x) to send a correct email without missing or corrupted recipient data.
What does not work:
– German “Umlauts” (special characters) in the address lines
– the real mailbox name (always in English!) is displayed in the window title bar
– the entries in the CC and BCC fields are being deleted.
And if this comment will be deleted again, I will stop recommending Roundcube at once!
These things all work in the latest version. There must be some configuration or environment error causing the problems you’re describing. However, to get support or repport bugs, please visit http://roundcube.net/support.
BTW: comments are not deleted but moderated which sometimes can take some time.
I just activated the new design and I have to say that it works like a charm! Awesome work, guys!
this wont disply correctly in explore 8 or 9 any suggestions ????
It does in my IE 8 and 9 on Win 7. You have to be slightly more concrete if you expect any help or improvements.
our sytem works fine mozzilla and safari but not in eplorer, we are running 0.7, when you are logged in the layout is all over the place in explorer 8 and 9 . any reasson to why this is happening
Roundcube has successfully been tested with IE6-9. There must be some specialty with your environment.
However, this article is about the new skin released in 0.8-beta and this blog isn’t the right place to ask for support anyways. Please see http://roundcube.net/support to find out how to get help and how to report bugs.
awesome
can’t i download it?
The new skin is part of the 0.8-beta release which you can download from http://roundcube.net/download
but the skin cannot use in rc 0.7.2?
Nope, that’s why it is released with 0.8-beta
Hi there! Could you please give me some advices for saving my new password on roundcube webmail?
I’ve got the error message ” couldn’t save new password”
i updated this line
$rcmail_config[‘password_ldap_encodage’] = “md5crypt”;
but its not working
Please help me. Thanks.
I notice that the new version is feature complete, is there a release date set for it?
Fabulous job! I’m staggered by the outlook which looks clean and nicely fits with colours to the rest! Works better than I could imagine!
This new skin is a great! improvement. Way to go y’all. It’s easier to navigate and easy on the eyes. Many thanks, and kudos to the designer.
Great! When do you plan to be in ubuntu package pool?
We’re not actively doing Ubuntu packaging. Search the Ubuntu forums for more information.
Will this new skin also work on older versions, more so on version 0.7.2?
No it won’t. Skins deployed with the core package are tied to the version they’re shipped with. Why the heck don’t you wanna upgrade?
Hello everyone!
Some new
roundcubeskins themes launched.Its awesome!!!!!!
It will be free for personal use and we will be offering support and upgrade packages with diffrend colorfull themes.
