Was wondering if it would be possible to change the default Larry theme to one that is mobile friendly / responsive… or is there a solution for this already?
I’m a web developer. Thinking to just make my own based on Larry…
PS. I totally get the “not customizable” simplicity of MiaB. However, would be nice to at least be able to have a custom theme or a theme that would not be overwritten by update. What if a user could modify a theme and name it say larry-custom, then the installer/updater script could just skip over it so as to not erase it. Would that be hard?
In any case, it’s 2018. Need to have a mobile friendly theme.
the issue is that not all themes work with our version of roundcube and not all roundcube versions in the future will support more than the default theme. It will be tough.
I wouldn’t mind reworking Larry and eventually update its look to something more in line with current design patterns. I would be happy to share with the group…
But the fact that any changes I make will be overwritten unless I do some backflips, is frankly discouraging and unnecessary. It’s not simplicity, it’s unnecessarily limiting.
I hope the author reconsiders his stance. You don’t have to give people options to configure, but you should not impede it needlessly also.
My goal is obviously not to impede. You are welcome to submit a pull request on the github repository to make the project better. But keep in mind that better does not solely mean having more features. There are other factors to consider, including maintainability.
