  • 1.  Dashboard GUI color

    Is there a way to alter the dashboard color scheme? When using dashboard, it is difficult to see some of the black text on the dark grey background. What do I need to do?

    There is unfortunately no way to change the DashBoard Color Scheme.

    Are you making custom panels, or just using existing panels?   If it's existing panels from a Ross Device, which device are you having problems with?

    Could you give us a screenshot?

    Thanks.

    I 100% agree - I just updated to 9.xx and the new GUI color scheme is really hard on the eyes . ( I do not use glasses, and have relatively good vision)

    The white text on black background is just strains the eye when using such a thin font.  And missing  a lot of the contrast in the attributes panels leads to the eye just getting lost looking a lists of options.

    Being able to increase the thickness of menu fonts would help the strain a lot.

    You can revert to the previous color scheme and widgets by going to Window->Preferences->General and changing the theme from "Aura" to "Classic".
    Just to note: new widgets and Ross UIs are being designed specifically to look best in Aura but Classic may be helpful to you for now particularly if you are having difficulty with certain UIs. The theme is set application-wide and requires a restart of DashBoard to change.

    We are also always looking to improve our usability and have already made several tweaks to the Aura theme based on user feedback. Thank you for providing information about what you are finding difficult. If you have specific screens that are more problematic than others and could provide us screen shots, that would be very helpful.

    Cheers
