Hi there,
I have been a long time user of Postbox and recently switched to eM Client. I can use eM Client perfectly fine. But I do miss the simple minimalist look and feel of Postbox.
Is there an eM Client theme that can re-create the look of Postbox or does anyone know how to customise a theme so that it appears as similar as possible.
Thanks for considering in advance,
Sam
This is a good idea! I’m not sure I’d use it personally, but I can see how it would make eM Client feel a little more like home.
I’m coming from PostBox too. The theme editor in em client is pretty extensive and lets you customize a lot of the interface. I setup a color scheme that works for me, not sure that it’s similar to PostBox. Maybe give the theme editor a try, start with a theme that you like and customize it.
There is a somewhat non-intuitive work flow with themes in em client. After editing a theme, you have to save it then re-load it. You’d think that changes would “stick” but they don’t, on the next startup the theme reverts to the old theme. So save and reload the theme to make it stick. It took me a few days to figure out what was happening, and after each time, setting up the perfect color scheme, only to lose it. Now it sticks.

Here is the eM Client blog on designing your own Theme you should check out as per @Gary post in the following thread.
(eM Client design your own Theme)

Then once you have a custom Theme created in the Theme Editor, save it.
Then go to “Menu / Settings (Preferences) / Appearance / Themes” and at the bottom click “Import Theme” and select your saved theme.
You will then see your custom theme appear at the bottom as in the below example screenshot “Theme_0000”. Click on the custom theme and click “Apply” & Save & Close" to exit Settings.
Lastly if you want to delete a Theme, click it once and “press delete on the keyboard”
There is also the user created Themes you can try as well.

This is also an old eM thread below on Custom Themes that has alot of good info & Theme links you might like to check out and maybe post any questions in that thread on customising there.

If you are “editing an existing eM Client theme” to customise it do the following.
1). First “click on the theme you like” and then save the theme via the “Advanced button” at the bottom right in “Menu / Settings (Preferences) / Appearance / Themes” as per screenshot example below.
2). Then open the Theme editor and “open that saved theme”.
3). Then “edit the theme” and then “save the theme” once finished via the “Save As” button.
4). Next import your new saved theme “via the import button” at the bottom of Themes.
5). Then “click on your imported theme” at the bottom of Themes and click “Apply” and “Save Settings” as per my custom theme example below. Lastly close & reopen eM Client.
