Web client wastes tons of vertical space with two-line format

[kbulgrien]

While changing PCs I've come to realize that Zimbra Desktop has been EOL for a while. Though it occasionally (rarely) burped and had to be restarted, I very much liked it.

I've opened the Web Client, and I HATE its gratuitous waste of screen real estate. Does anyone know how to change the display format to one-line per e-mail thread like Zimbra Desktop did? I've looked around but don't see anything obvious. I guess I'll walk through the multitude of themes. The two-line format is NOT awesome.

I may not be understanding what you are saying but the theme I use (hotrod) didn't work for my linux workstation with firefox because there was too much spacing. I did this:

Code: Select all

mail:~/Zimbra/patch-scripts:46> cat fix-skins.sh 
#!/bin/sh

PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:$PATH export PATH

#
# Note: needs to be run as root
#

theme="/opt/zimbra/jetty/webapps/zimbra/skins/hotrod/skin.properties"

# Only add if not present
grep "JAD" $theme > /dev/null 2>&1
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
su zimbra -c 'echo "
#JAD 
# Actual line-to-line spacing is 2px more than this 
ListItemHeight = height:16px; 
TreeItemHeight = height:16px;" ' >> $theme
fi

su - zimbra -c "/opt/zimbra/bin/zmprov flushCache skin"

exit 0

I have to do this sometimes after updates and upgrades of course. We didn't see this spacing problem with other platforms but perhaps this gives you an idea of a workaround if this is the spacing problem you are talking about.

HTH,

Jim
