Link to file in Mailspring repo is wrong in file styles/ui-variables.less
https://github.com/Foundry376/Mailspring/blob/master/app/static/base/ui-variables.less#L37:L40
should be changed to
https://github.com/Foundry376/Mailspring/blob/master/app/static/style/base/ui-variables.less

I have created my own theme. However some emails are not displaying correctly due to the background color being #2D2C2E so sometimes the text color does not show. Is there any way to change this particular panel to white (#fff).

The LICENSE.md file is a copy of the MIT license, but the package.json specifies the license as GPL-3.0. Which license is actually in use?

As titled. I'm on Windows10, and after manually deleting a theme installed under C:\Users\<my name>\AppData\Roaming\Mailspring\packages, I can still see the theme as an option under Mailspring's "Change Theme...".

Hi,
Where can I disable developer flags again?
When I open mailspring now, I get an empty electron environment and that's really not what I had in mind to alter the theme starter.

Cheers!

Hi there,

I made a theme based on the theme starter but it seems to me that the theme starter version is not exactly the same version status as the "Dark" theme shipped with the release. Some of the details do not match – especially in Mail view – and the composer still appears in white.

Is it possible to grab one of the main themes contained in Mailspring to modify them?

Thanks and best regards
Timo

I feel that this repository would work well as a template repository, since this serves as a template for Mailspring themes.

From the link:

Creating a repository from a template is similar to forking a repository, but there are important differences:

• A new fork includes the entire commit history of the parent repository, while a repository created from a template starts with a single commit.
• Commits to a fork don't appear in your contributions graph, while commits to a repository created from a template do appear in your contribution graph.
• A fork can be a temporary way to contribute code to an existing project, while creating a repository from a template starts a new project quickly.

Hello,
I have started a theme based on the Breeze look from KDE Plasma¹ (Opensuse, Kubuntu, etc.) . I could do most of the reskinning from the starter theme, the Taiga theme (from the git) and the Agapanthus theme (which I found online).

There are some elements which are very difficult to skin.

1. The sidebar: Some of the id's of the items that hold the folder names and icons are predicatbles, i.e. id="Unread", others are not human readable, i.e. id="Jm47j8CLKMvTHR8RXMxm2PmDsK86ai3BYnMyb4ow6". I am concerned that these could be computer dependent, and not work properly. But I did not find any other way to identify these items properly.
2. The buttons which are at the bottom of the mail composition window or panel are even harder, and I did not manage to skin most of them. You can see the commented-out failed code in styles/email-frame.less. In the button with a handle (like the reminder button) it is especially difficult to modify the button without changing the handle. Do you have any example were this is done, if it is doable in an official way?

kind regards, and thank you for you great software

Hi, I want to change the icon-star image in my theme. So I created a file thread-list.less, then I added these lines for my icon that resides in my template folder:

.thread-list .thread-icon.thread-icon-star,
.draft-list .thread-icon.thread-icon-star {
  background-image: url("../images/[email protected]");
}

It seems to not working, what is the correct path to rely on the images folder on my theme?

Note : The CSS is loaded right, if I put background-image: none; The icon disapear.

Hi,

I downloaded this repo. I have Added a name, display name, title, and description for my theme to package.json, and changed the directory name to match.

Opened N1 and install the theme by going to Mailspring > Install New Theme... and selecting the directory.

Choose Developer > Run With Debug Flags for easier debugging.

Now my client won't open. In console I have error:
ln: failed to create symbolic link '/myhomefolder/snap/mailspring/209/.config/gtk-2.0/gtkfilechooser.ini': File exists
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "gail"
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "atk-bridge"
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"
Running database migrations
App load time: 247ms

{"error":null}

In mailspring's windows I have error:
Error: Failed to execute 'add' on 'DOMTokenList': The token provided ('theme-Dark Blue') contains HTML space characters, which are not valid in tokens.

Can you please help me fix this issue?

Hi. How can I color only this part as highlighted in red. Need to keep all other colors constant. What is the name of this section? Got no experience, was just modifying another preexisting themes so detailed instructions would be appreciated. Thank you

as mentioned in the Readme file : ~/Library/Application Support/Mailspring/packages/THEME_NAME
where i can find the component directory in ubuntu.
I am not able to find it here.
