I would like to request a change of the port indicator symbols.

 

Since 5.14, the ports displayed on switches and routers changed colours, and are considerably brighter than they were before.  This is fine, but a white "inner" indicator for STP block or Uplink is almost impossible to see, especially on 1gig ports

 

I would like to request that these are either changed to a more visible colour (eg, BLACK on the brighter colour ports) or we return to the old pre 5.14 colours

 

 

Indicated is a STP blocked port.  Its very hard to see for thsoe of us with not-perfect vision

Hi  @GRL 

 

This is how the ports look like in the next firmware of Omada controller, you may have a look and let me know if this is good for you:

This seems better, the brightness of the green is somewhat toned down.  I think i would struggle with these less, but i feel the inner symbols would benefit from being, say, a dark-ish Red?  this would make them stand out more on all colours i feel.  But, other people may not like that, im just basing it on my vision.....   I would be interested to hear others opinions.  However, overall this does seem much better!

 

edit: also - new symbols, interesting!
