@Arty just out of curiosity; what do you think the price on the add-on will be when not in beta? at least range would be great to know.

Probably $15.

@Arty, first of all AWESOME WORK! Wow! You made it look so simple
Still playing around on how to customize stuff, but getting there. You'll have one client already
Love it I will keep a close eye out for the remarks here, that help me figure out how to customize stuff

adding background: @pageBackground; did work in showing the background in iCloud desktop client but its not centered as you mentioned. Still looks extremely promising!

Thanks to all replies above

I've been playing with that too for last 30 mins. Added small change to parser to force background to body style, even if its not specified to counter white background issue.

However it isn't centered and there is no way to make it center. Gmail doesn't expand message to full width. Looks like best course of action is to make outer background white or as close to white as possible.

Amazing as always @Arty

It's strange that the iCloud client is now centering my emails even as I resize my browser window

Body Style

padding: 10px;
font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;
line-height: 1.35;
background: @pageBackground;

Hello
Any chance to run it successfully with XF 1.4 ?

Hello

It should work with 1.4.10 because email templates structure is the same as in 1.5.5, but I haven't tested it. Earliest version I've tested is 1.5.0

So this is not available to use live yet? IM using this but its not really that customizable.

Its marked as beta because it is first version and there might be some bugs, but you can use it on live.

If that holds when released - I'm a customer at that time.. A very needed add-on. Thank you for making it.

 

[Arty]

Thank you.

So far there have been only few minor issues. Today I'll release another beta version, then depending on feedback it might take 3-4 more days of testing before all issues are fixed. I think final version will be released this weekend.

Would love to get feedback from RTL forums. I don't know how well add-on works with RTL languages or if it works at all.

@melbo I think I've solved problem with dark background. It requires slightly changing layout of messages: messages will have fixed width and will be centered. There will be new setting to customize that as well.

Here are screenshots from Gmail of Black Responsive style with improved forum style importer:

Looks good @Arty

Will quotes be able to be customized with site colors? The other add on left the quotes with the Xenforo core email colors.

Yes. You can customize quotes and code bbcode layout.

See screenshots in resource for examples. If you spot anything that isn't customizable, please let me know and I'll make it customizable.

Arty updated Email Customizer with a new update entry:

New centered layout for styles with dark backgrounds, bug fixes

Changes:

• New option for fixed width layout. Option can be toggled during style import and you can customize all elements of new layout in editor. This layout makes emails with non-white background look better in web clients such as Gmail.
• Color palette changes. Now page and content background colors and text color are shown separately. New color added to palette: link color.

To update from previous version you need to:

• Upload new files, overwriting old files....

Read the rest of this update entry...

Should I remove

background: @pageBackground;

from Body Style for this update?
Do we need to reimport a style to add the fixed width setting? Sorry, haven't looked in the options yet

 

[Arty]

You can remove that line. New version adds it automatically.

For new fixed width easiest option is to reimport style. Its a setting for importer that creates slightly different replacements, not an option you can change later.

However you can update it without importing. You'll need to edit 2 properties:

1. Building blocks -> wrapper table opening:

<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" valign="middle" style="{$bodyStyle}"><tr><td valign="top" align="center">

2. Building blocks -> content table opening:

<table width="640" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" dir="{$emailLanguage.text_direction}" style="width: 640px; {$wrapperStyle}">
