I think the old dark/blue theme may have had a bit better visual clarity, but it's still good!

I would like to be able to switch back to light mode.

Is there also an onbgoing redesign for the Discourse forum?
I have lost the header navigation bar but have a permanently red banner informing me about no issues on the status page.


Update: This is resolved

I would also like the option to switch - I like to have 1 tab in light and 1 tab in dark for production and test products.

In product vitals page, the drop down for time selection. The font is the same color as the background.

Count me in with the many others who have requested light mode. My eyes aren't as crisp as they used to be and dark screens make it harder for me to read.

What possessed you to impose this on your users without giving an option? It's horrible, change it back!

Personally I don't like it. Option to select light or dark theme would be schweeeet!

Hey, I just noticed that the button in red is missing:

FYI.

Edit: The button gave you the curl command to the console of the device you were looking at.

I'd much prefer the lighter theme as it was before or allow an option to switch themes. Thanks.

For me it's completely utterly impossible to use dark theme! Either the text is too bright and gets blurried, or too dark and I can't read it. This is an accessibility issue.
I was surprised to see that light theme was there before, why not have both of them like in the Particle Docs?

I often use cloud utility functions and the descriptive names can be long which causes problems in the new console.

As an Enterprise client, the console makeover is a step in the wrong direction and hinders us in multiple ways:

  • The unconditional lefthand pop-out menu covers up the event log when the console window loses focus... we so often monitor the event log passively while working in other desktop windows, and it's now obscured.

  • We also leverage variable content extensively for our fleet, and now these objects have been squashed into tiny, virtually unreadable boxes.

  • We now have extra clicks when navigating into the basic, product-based services that were available in the toolbar previously via single click access.

Please rollback this paint job ASAP, or at least allow end users to have more granular control of the Console UI.

Am I correct in understanding that the web console (where I provision devices, hooks, etc.) is now in this dark mode only? I'll reserve judgment until I'm certain I'm correct.

Hi, it happened to me today and here's a recipe to avoid that:
