Hi. This "update" really doesn't help. The colours you've chosen may be OK to you but if your red/green colourblind like me, and one in every hundred males are the same, then it definitely doesn't help. Please either revert to the original colours or give us the choice of colour.

Do you mean in light (non-dark) mode? The dark mode floating boxes are easy to read for me, but the issue is more that in light mode, the floating box bg is still dark, making lots of the text hard to read, particularly the purple one

Yes, your screenshot shows the problem.

On a small screen (e.g. iPhone), the single feed data details clips one of the two most important columns: "Created At". I have to rotate the phone to see more and it still clips part of the timestamp. It seems the Location column is taking an enormous amount of space. I'm sure that is important to some use cases, but I would argue that Timestamp and Value are the two most important. The timestamp is hugely important to understand if your system is still functioning as expected.

Sounds like the same issue people are having in this thread

That looks like Chrome for iOS, by the way. What version is it? Have you tried updating the app, or trying on Safari?

We are looking at the red/green color combinations, thank you for your feedback.

We are not reverting colors, but would like to give the choice of colors in the future.

Also, can you try light mode on the dashboard? That should have better color combinations until we can fix this.

Thanks for the screenshot, we've filed an issue and will fix this one as well.

Thank you for the screenshot and the feedback. I've filed the issue for this. I think the best approach here is going to be dropping the "Location" column on vertical mobile displays and show it only for horizontal. That should give the full date and value.

Thanks for the heads up on this. We are working really hard on our accessibility issues, and for our small team it is a huge project. We will absolutely have a solution in place for those who are colorblind, but it might take some time for us to finish building this out.

Can you confirm the biggest issue is with the gauge and slider in dark mode on the dashboard? Any other major issues?

For now, can you try switching to light mode in the dashboard and see if that fixes the contrast issues you have?

Hi
I noticed today an odd artifact appear on a circular gauge. See the attached image. Also the text on the lower gauge isn’t right but that problem has already been reported. This is on an iPhone using safari.

Can you provide a screenshot? What browser? Is it desktop or mobile?

In regards to the momentary buttons, they are designed to work like physical hardware buttons. They click ON when you push them, and click back OFF when you release. If you need to maintain a specific state (between two states), a toggle switch is typically a good choice.

It's an interesting idea to have an option where you click a toggle and it stays clicked in (now that it's obvious with the UI the state it's in), but it would be replicating a lot of the toggle switch's behavior.

New UI looks much better particularly the white background.

I'd like to suggest better granularity on the line graphs, or better yet, the ability to select a custom range similar to Thingsboard. In addition, more sizing options on the line graphs...just can't get 3 across the screen which would be much better for many applications.

Any update pending for this? It would be nice to be able to read the stream widget content in light mode...

I wasn't able to re-create this, but I think the issue is that you have the white color scheme chosen for the stream block. If you edit that block, you can change it to green or a few other color options.
