Hi all,
I run Zimbra FOSS (Maldua builds) for my company's mail. The Classic UI
is still the most solid way to use Zimbra, but the stock look has aged
badly, so I restyled it and open sourced the result.
Blueshore is a family of four colour-matched skins built from a single
shared source:
- Tide (blue) and Sand (amber), each in a light and a dark variant
- every icon redrawn as inline SVG (Lucide), no legacy sprites
- Public Sans typeface bundled with the skin, zero external requests
- denser, quieter layout; proper dark mode (calendar, native form
controls, editor toolbar - message body stays a light card, since
HTML mail assumes a white background)
- plain skin, no core patches: copy into skins/, zmskindeploy, enable
with zmprov; it survives upgrades and users pick it per account in
Preferences -> Theme
- palette-based build tooling included: a custom branded variant is one
.properties file with your colours
Developed and tested on Zimbra FOSS 10.1.18 (Maldua). AGPL licensed.

Feedback, issues and palettes are welcome.
