Don't experiment with the production setup.

Best choose the "basic" view from the login UI first to try out if you 
like what you see (and if anything is broken for you)

The official names of the names are:


/* View types. */

const VIEW_BASIC = 1;

const VIEW_DYNAMIC = 2;

const VIEW_MINIMAL = 3;

const VIEW_SMARTMOBILE = 4;

"Basic" is the traditional horde view

"Dynamic" is more reliant on ajax features which should be commonplace 
even in browsers of not-so-state-of-the-art phones and tablets. This is 
auto-picked on "automatic" mode when a desktop browser is detected.

"minimal" is basically avoiding CSS and JS wherever possible. I think 
it's not something a lot of users actively choose to use.

"smartmobile" is based on jquery and jquery-mobile. It's a touch 
optimized UI with a lot of features missing. It gets autoselected in 
"automatic" mode when a mobile browser is detected.
