Swap the Subject and description line in Roundcube Webmail mail list

Uncategorized , , , , , 0 Comments

I have been using Roundcube Webmail for a really long time, but some recent update changed the view in the default skin, so now the message list is displayed in an odd way. There are two lines (no odd things so far), the first contains the sender and the time, the other one contains the subject. Which is exactly the opposite of the usual way to display these information.

At first I thought I will get used to it quickly, but that was not the case so I wanted to swap it. I’ll spare everyone about the digging I had to do to achieve this simple task, in the end it boiled down to only one line of change:

The file program/js/app.js contains a this.env.widescreen_list_template list on line 274 where you need to reorder the list so 'subject' is the first item:

You might need to do a hard refresh in your browser (Ctrl-F5), but that’s it.

Probably there is a nicer way to do this but after chasing this for an hour I wasn’t motivated enough to find it. If you know it then let me know.
