Branding Roundcube
To brand Roundcube with your organization’s logo and name, follow these steps:

1. Install Roundcube

   • If your hosting account includes Softaculous, you can use it to install Roundcube. For instructions, see this article.
   • Managed hosting accounts include Roundcube by default, but you cannot modify its files. To brand Roundcube, you need a standalone installation.
   • If Softaculous is not available, install Roundcube manually. For instructions, see the official Roundcube documentation.

2. Edit the product name

   • In your Roundcube installation directory, open config/config.inc.php with a text editor.

   • Locate the line:

     $config['product_name']

   • Change the value to your desired name, e.g.:

     $config['product_name'] = 'My Great Company';

   • The product_name value appears on the login page and in the browser title bar.

3. Upload custom images

   • Upload logo.svg to the skins/skin_name/images directory, where skin_name is the skin (theme) to modify.

     • Tip: SVG files are Scalable Vector Graphics, an XML-based image format. More info: SVG.

   • Upload favicon.ico to the same directory.

     • Tip: Favicons appear in the browser address bar and bookmarks. More info: Favicon.

4. Determine the default skin

   • Open config/defaults.inc.php and locate:

     $config['skin'] =

   • Since users can change skins, upload your logo files to all directories under skins to ensure your custom images appear for any skin.
