Roundcube is a Web-based email interface that allows users to log in and access their email system. Users can check their email, send messages and keep an address book. They also have access to some personal settings but can't change the interface skin; only the administrator has access to the Roundcube skins. If you want to change the skin, you'll need to log in to the Roundcube directory on your Web server and edit the "main.inc.php" file.
Step 1
Launch your FTP client. Type your FTP address, username and password into the displayed text fields, then click "Connect."
