Hi Arman,

I am using your theme. I like it. It would be preferable to have a mobile theme also. On my Samsung Android 10 I see this as a problem. I am a private user for Zimbra Foss9 and Zextras. Zimbra v8.8 has a mobile client (free)

Can you indicate on this feature request?

Hi dear Martin,

I agree with you about the mobile theme but unfortunately, it can't be done since the Zimbra Touch Client, Zimbra Mobile Client, and Zimbra HTML (Standard) Client are no longer a part of Zimbra open source starting from version 9.0.0. as can be seen in Zimbra Releases/9.0.0 - Zimbra :: Tech Center.

Thank you very much for your feedback.

We'll be available for further questions,

Arman

I also encountered a problem. After modifying the default login theme, the login input window is too long.

sed -i 's/harmony/zextras/g' /opt/zimbra/jetty/etc/ zimbra.web.xml .in

The UI is very ugly

How to solve it?
THANKS

Hi Kirill,

Yes, it does support CentOS 8 and will continue to work on future updates as well.

Hi @tinging,

Probably the Zextras Theme installation procedure was not correct. I suggest following the official documentation at https://docs.zextras.com/zextras-suite-documentation/latest/theme.html  and, if the issue persists, opening a ticket.

Would be good to have a setting for colour picking the theme, I suspect it is possible to have a prod in the CSS for settings but something that gave you a core colour pick and generated the accents for you would be good. Would avoid having lots of colour themes hacked about!

If not then a range of basic red/blue/green/grey/yellow/orange etc would also help.

Hi,

I was looking forward to trying this theme for some time now, but I can't get it enabled.

I'm on Oracle Linux 8 with Zetras9 installed. The Mail suite was upgraded from Zimbra8 FOSS.

I ran the theme installer, but it won't be listed among the list of themes.

I had  done the restart as indicated, and also restarted Zimbra in full, and also logged out and back in.

 

[root@zmail zextras-theme-installer]# ./install.sh 

This script will install Zextras Theme, onto the running system.


System will be modified, would you like to proceed? [Y] y

zimbra-core package has been found.


	 NOTICE 	
Using the package inside a Container is not supported.
This release requires systemd to work properly.

I've gone through the docs you linked and verified every step. Not sure what to try now.

(btw, they give a deprecation warning)

Hi @darkfader,

read this : https://docs.zextras.com/suite/html/general.html?highlight=theme#enabling-the-theme

If you want enable it as default you need to change it in every COS .

if you want to apply "zextras" to login screen ( this is only for login screen ) you need to use this command :

sed -i 's/harmony/zextras/g' /opt/zimbra/jetty/etc/zimbra.web.xml.in

Then you can proceed to restart mailbox .
