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 🙂

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
