Roundcube Themes Gone?

    I literally just got the new Elastic Roundcube UI forced on me this week. To say it is terrible is an understatement. It is so cluttered and poorly designed. Can we PLEASE GET LARRY BACK! ASAP.

    Two of us here hate the Elastic UI.  Nowhere near as clear as previous themes.

    I couldn't find a location for specific and detailed review and problem reporting for the Elastic theme.  I am happy to put comments on such a thread if one exists.

    Issues:

    • Selected folders and emails are not clearly highlighted - the contrast difference between selected state and not selected is low and so requires real concentration and constant tilting of screen (or head) to check the right stuff is selected especially before deleting.  It is hard to do the right thing so mistakes are more likely.  A higher requirement over beauty for a UI is functionality and usability.
    • When clearing a folder, typically Rubbish/Trash/Deleted Items, there is a confirmation pop-up but it doesn't spell out the actual folder being cleared.  Along with the previous point about selected folder contrast, this is an source of major potential error.  (A user here has deleted all their inbox accidentally, though this was with Larry theme.  It is just more likely now with the indistinct character of Elastic).
    • The layout seems to be inflexible and not as usable as Larry was. The full reasons why aren't obvious but I find a general sense of disorientation and functions not being clear.
