skydvrz Posted December 11, 2020 Posted December 11, 2020 Would it be possible to add a color scheme picker to the Admin Console that gives us color blind people a break? Magenta or whatever color that is on Blue is just about invisible to me. Imagine me squinching my eyes and looking at my monitor from about a foot away to see it. This is a problem since I have around 70 devices and >100 scenes. All the rest of the Admin console is fine - just the Main|Network list. I circled the problem areas in the attached screen shot that I have difficulty seeing. I love the blue background - I have no problem with that. Thanks in advance! 2

There was a response that it wouldn't be changed until we got rid of the java based admin console. I find the magenta hard to read also, but discovered that it's not as hard with a larger font which can be set at File > Themes 18 minutes ago, lilyoyo1 said: Thats already possible. Its in the wiki. FIle>themes Unfortunately the magenta font color for Insteon devices exists in every one of the choices. For me at least its actually easiest to read on the blue (dark) background. Even the theme "high contrast" I find it hard to read the magenta. Since it's a "light" color it works best on "dark" backgrounds.
skydvrz Posted December 13, 2020 Author Posted December 13, 2020 @MrBill High Contrast kinda-sorta works. (Thanks lilyoyo1) It is somewhat easier to read but the rest of the screens are butt-ugly That Magenta text has got to go. A larger font size would be problematic since I have hundreds of items in that list - 4 page-down scrolls with all of my scenes collapsed - and on a high res monitor.
peekay Posted December 16, 2020 Posted December 16, 2020 I was thinking the same thing last week. Really hard on me as well. My monitor does have a colorblind support option which I may have to try if this isn’t a priority for UD, but it is a clunky approach.
