Posted by In the previous article, I have published screenshots of Modern Web Client Alternative for Zimbra Open Source Edition. The theme is made by Zextras. So, in this article, I am going to show you how to install the new Zextras theme for the Zimbra web interface
First, you must register to get a download link: zextras-theme-zimbra-interface. Then, you will receive instructions for installing the new Zextras theme
For Ubuntu users
Download the package from your Zimbra server using the following command:
wget https://link-download-from-zextras/zextras-theme-ubuntu.tgz
Note: Change link-download-from-zextras with the link received in the email
Extract the package you have just downloaded with
tar xvf zextras-theme-ubuntu.tgz
Execute the installation
cd zextras-theme-installer && sudo ./install.sh
Apply a new theme with zmskindeploy to be sure
su - zimbra -c 'zmskindeploy /opt/zimbra/jetty/webapps/zimbra/skins/zextras/'
Restart the Zimbra Web Application (mailboxd) manually with:
su - zimbra -c 'zmmailboxdctl restart'
For CentOs users
Download the package from your Zimbra server using the following command:
wget https://link-download-from-zextras/zextras-theme-centos.tgz
Note: Change link-download-from-zextras with the link received in the email
Extract the package you have just downloaded with
tar xvf zextras-theme-centos.tgz
Execute the installation
cd zextras-theme-installer && sudo ./install.sh
Apply a new theme with zmskindeploy to be sure
su - zimbra -c 'zmskindeploy /opt/zimbra/jetty/webapps/zimbra/skins/zextras/'
Restart the Zimbra Web Application (mailboxd) manually with:
su - zimbra -c 'zmmailboxdctl restart'
Now the users will find Zextras Theme in the Preferences Area, under “Appearance”. To choose it, then simply have to select it and save it.
If you want to change the default login form like below
Please do the following step
su - zimbra sed -i 's/harmony/zextras/g' /opt/zimbra/jetty/etc/zimbra.web.xml.in zmmailboxdctl restart
Good luck 🙂

Do you know how to change the app logo on the new theme it seams it’s based on a .svg format, we are using the network edition 8.8.15
The new theme are looking great and works perfectly

Hi Carl,
1. You can replace LoginBanner_white.svg with your own at folder skins/zextras/logos or
2. You can edit skin.properties then change LoginBanner_white.svg with your banner that put in folder logos

Hello Ahmad,
got a little problem. After installed this new theme, admin panel stuck on load, while webmail works perfect.
any idea?
Hi Temo,
Please check on mailbox.log and zmmailboxd.out when stuck on admin panel. You can find problem information on that log
Thanks for answer Ahmad.
here is failure part from mailbox.log:

Code:service.FAILURE
I’ve got port redirection, so it goes to 7071
are you able to help somehow?
Hi Temo,
You can try access using port 7071 instead of 9071 (if you have Zimbra proxy)
Thank you very much Ahmad, found the problem and resolved 😀
HI Ahmad,

After running the above command, the login interface fails. https://prnt.sc/y1lp91
How to get back to like at first
Hi nampv,
You can revert by run the following command
I have the same problem. The login window is too long.
How to solve it?
Hi,
Please try to flush the cache (zmprov fc all)
Yes, I’ve tried.
Clean up the cache, restart Zimbra, and the server.
There are still problems.
bru coba, main zimbra lagi di server kantor
pas saat sudo ./install.sh
This version will only work on a system running CentOS 6, 7 or 8.
padahal
lsb_release -d
Description: CentOS release 6.10 (Final)
kenapa ya mas?
Hi mas Fauzi,
Bisa jadi versi Zimbra nya sudah obsolete mas.
saya juga dapa warning ini.. pdhal centos6 dan zcs 8.8.15
Hi,
Is there any way to install this theme on Rocky Linux 8? I have installed Zimbra on Rocky Linux 8.4 but theme installation ./install.sh file does not work. it throws error as “zimbra-core package is required and has not been found.”
Hi,
You can install themes (rpm package) manually using rpm -Uvh
