I agree with that comment. An alternative proposal would be to move commonly 
used activities such as "E-Mail, Contacts, Calendar" out of the drop-down menu 
and put them right into that bar like the future Roundcube skin does.

This way Contacts and Calendar would not be hidden and just be one click away. 
Maybe both proposals can be implemented at the same time depending on how much 
horizontal space is left. In any case, I think we should get rid of the black 
top bar.

Other than that, I'm quite happy with the skin :)

Are there mockups for calender and addressbook view as well?

Regards,
Torsten
