FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Informations about the package workbench
Workbench — a modern skin for Roundcube
A third-party Roundcube skin derived from Elastic: a dark navigation rail, a
light card canvas, a red brand accent (#cc151c), Inter typography, 12 px
radii, visible keyboard focus, and both light and dark modes. Surface only —
the Roundcube core stays untouched. Brand-neutral / rebrandable (accent =
the --wb-accent token, logo files in images/ are replaceable).
- Base: Roundcube 1.6 LTS and 1.7, skin
elastic - Principle:
meta.json→"extends": "elastic"; all overrides live inskins/workbench/only. No changes to the core, plugins, orskins/elastic/.

Features
- Light + dark via Roundcube's native toggle (moon button); tokens on
html.dark-mode. - Icon-only task rail with hover tooltips (and persistent labels on wide touchscreens); a dedicated line-icon set (Lucide) replaces the most prominent FontAwesome glyphs.
- Initials avatars in the list, reading header and recipient chips (cosmetic, JS only).
- UX extras (subtle, removable by deleting
workbench.js): skeleton loader, top progress bar, hover quick-actions, keyboard shortcuts with a cheat sheet (?). - Internationalization: skin localization (
localization/en_US.inc+de_DE.inc,meta.json→"localization": true) for the login; an EN/DE dictionary inworkbench.jsandwatermark.htmlkeyed offrcmail.env.lang. English is the default. - Accessibility: visible focus everywhere,
aria-hiddenon decorative elements, the cheat sheet is anaria-modaldialog with focus trapping and a close button, and dark-mode accent text meets WCAG AA contrast. - Print: a clean, ink-saving print stylesheet (white background, black text, no screen chrome or avatars, underlined links).
- RTL: Elastic provides the base flip; the custom components (avatars,
quick-actions, rail tooltip, active marker, reading-header avatar) are mirrored
for
html[dir="rtl"]. - Brand-neutral: accent = the
--wb-accenttoken, logo replaceable inimages/. No product or vendor names.
Compatibility
Verified on Roundcube 1.6 LTS and 1.7 (min-version 1.6.0) in
Chromium/Chrome and Firefox (login, message list, reading, composing,
dark mode — custom icons via CSS mask, the Inter webfont and avatars render
identically). The icons use mask / -webkit-mask, which also covers
WebKit/Safari.
Deployment note: Firefox only applies stylesheets served with the correct
Content-Type: text/css(strict MIME checking). Regular Apache/nginx setups do this automatically; the MIME type can only be mangled by a Roundcube router that pipes all requests through PHP.
Installation
Composer (recommended)
The roundcube/plugin-installer places the skin at skins/workbench/ and can
activate it interactively.
Manual (release archive)
Releases: https://github.com/AR-Sebastian/roundcube-skin-workbench/releases
Activation
In config/config.inc.php: $config['skin'] = 'workbench'; — or per user in the
Roundcube settings. Then hard-reload (assets are versioned with ?s=).
Dark mode
Roundcube has a native dark toggle (the moon button in the task menu) that
sets html.dark-mode (cookie colorMode). The skin puts its dark tokens on
html.dark-mode and on html[data-wb-theme="dark"], so it reuses the
existing, working toggle rather than a fragile custom one.
Layout
Build
Compile the Elastic entrypoints with --include-path pointing at this skin
folder. That lets the official Elastic hooks (_variables / _styles) pick up the
overrides without modifying any Elastic file.
Manual (core of the build):
Requires Node/npm; lessc (less@4) + optional less-plugin-clean-css.
Rollback
Deselect the skin (stock Elastic becomes active again) and remove the
skins/workbench/ folder. Since no core/plugin/Elastic files were modified, the
removal is complete and side-effect-free.
License & credits
The skin is licensed CC BY-SA 3.0 (same as the Elastic base skin). Third-party components (Elastic, Inter, Font Awesome, Lucide icons) and their licenses are listed in NOTICE.md.
