3 Column Layout for Larry Skin

[rcubetrac]

Reported by hamayun on 19 Dec 2013 01:56 UTC as Trac ticket #1489484

It would be really very productive if message preview is displayed on right instead of below the message list. That is much more efficient use of screen real estate than current default.

I wonder if 3-column layout is on radar anywhere. Every time we use Roundcube, we badly miss this feature in otherwise a great piece of software. Anyone out there who can write a small skin plugin to implement this feature. There is an old plugin at https://github.com/tofi86/Roundcube-Plugin-Threecol-Layout that has not been updated. Can it be updated to be compatible with recent updates?

I am willing to donate $100 if message preview pane is moved to right. Anyone joining hand with me on this?

I would also be very interested in this feature! I was about to submit a feature request until I found this ticket already open. I'm a poor student, but I could contribute a very small bit if that would help :-)

I just checked this plugin. It is updated for support RC 1.1 and works.

Work in progress, https://kolabian.wordpress.com/2016/09/17/widescreen-layout-aka-three-column-view/

Merged into master.

The columns should also be configurable in Widescreen mode... If not, this feature is quite unusable if you have a custom layout. :-(

@alecpl which release features side preview pane?

3-column layout was implemented in 1.3-beta. There's a milestone assigned to this ticket.

I'm glad someone likes the 3 column layout; I absolutely can't stand it. Is there a way to put it back still? I'm new to the project, so I apologize if I just haven't found something obvious.

It is honestly baffling to me how anyone can find the 3 column layout to be an efficient use of space, since to me it's exactly the opposite, but to each their own I suppose!

Ahh, I found it -- very sorry! I just needed to expose my ignorance publicly and there it was!
