In order to use the skins or plugins, you must add your license key to the Roundcube config file. Edit the file config/config.inc.php and place this line at the end:
# vi /usr/local/cwpsrv/var/services/roundcube/config/config.inc.php
$config['license_key'] = 'RCP-wZpzy---xrq8';
Roundcube Plus free skins add a new look to the Roundcube program. They are simplified versions of their commercial counterparts: they don't include the mobile support.

Installation steps

1. Upload the tar.gz file to /usr/local/src directory

2. Copy the directories 'skins' and 'plugins' to the directory where your Roundcube is installed.
# cd /usr/local/src/
# tar xvzf roundcube_plus_skin_litecube-f.tar.gz 
# cp -rvf plugins/* /usr/local/cwpsrv/var/services/roundcube/plugins/
# cp -rvf skins/* /usr/local/cwpsrv/var/services/roundcube/skins/

# chown -R cwpsvc:cwpsvc /usr/local/cwpsrv/var/services/roundcube/plugins/
# chown -R cwpsvc:cwpsvc /usr/local/cwpsrv/var/services/roundcube/skins/
IMPORTANT: If you already have a full version of any Roundcube Plus skins, do not overwrite the xskin plugin as it will cause errors when using your existing skins.
3. Edit the file 'config/config.inc.php', find the line that begins with $config['plugins'] and add 'xskin' to the array, like this:
# vi /usr/local/cwpsrv/var/services/roundcube/config/config.inc.php

// List of active plugins (in plugins/ directory)
$config['plugins'] = array(
    'additional_message_headers',
    'archive',
    'emoticons',
    'help',
    'hide_blockquote',
    'identity_select',
    'legacy_browser',
    'managesieve',
    'markasjunk',
    'newmail_notifier',
    'new_user_dialog',
    'new_user_identity',
    'password',
    'rcguard',
    'show_additional_headers',
    'subscriptions_option',
    'userinfo',
    'vcard_attachments',
    'zipdownload',
    'xskin',
); 
If the $config['plugins'] line doesn't exist in your config file, add it at the end of the file.

4. If you'd like to use litecube-f on the Roundcube login screen and as the default skin for the newly created user accounts, edit 'config/config.inc.php', find the setting $config['skin'] and set it to litecube-f'. If this setting doesn't exist, add it at the end of the file, like this:
# cd /usr/local/cwpsrv/var/services/roundcube/config

# vi config.inc.php 
$config['skin'] = 'litecube-f';

5. If you'd like to use your own branding images or customize other skin settings, copy the file
plugins/xskin/config.inc.php.dist to config.inc.php and follow the instructions given in that file.
# cd /usr/local/cwpsrv/var/services/roundcube/plugins/
# cp -p xskin/config.inc.php.dist xskin/config.inc.php
