Just tried the above with the Elastic skin, as the other Roundcube skins are a pain when you open your webmail with your phone or tablet, however it doesn't work.
Seems to me it doesn't load any CSS and images, though everything was done correctly...
Hello @Michel,
For issue with custom skin it is better to contact Elastic developers:
https://github.com/roundcube/roundcubemail/tree/master/skins/elastic
To troubleshoot the issue on your own, enable debug using the instruction, reproduce the issue and analyze the obtained log.
Comments are old but maybe this will help someone out there:
This *will not* work with the Elastic skin. Elastic is a quite beautiful skin but it has dependencies that are not met with the Roundcube version shipped with Plesk. I believe I read this somewhere in the documentation, it will only work with the latest version of Roundcube. And since that version is RC only at this point, it won't be included in Plesk until it's stable.
Hello @Denis,
Thank you for the notice.
It may be useful for other Pleskians.
