Where is Dark Mode?

Senoo — Thu, 30 May 2024 11:40:34 GMT

With alot of companies/websites/applications have implemented this years ago, we still stare at an all white SmartConsole.
High Contrast Mode exist, but it's missing features, it's like a different application and therefor not usable.

It's 2024, where is it?

If you would want this too, use the like button to bump this 😃

Hi,

You could try this (i think it is ugly :))

Smart Console -> Manage & Settings -> Preferences -> Accessibility -> enable High Contrast Theme.

Do you have features in mind that are missing?

Please see screenshot below for comparison of missing features for example:

And more than that is missing, but I think you get the point 😉

I have it over on macOS. 😉

I'm still missing some features (mostly around interacting with MDSs, creating or editing firewalls, deleting certain types of object, and dealing with tasks), but it's coming along.

That looks good, but nothing like that for windows, I don't get why...

SmartConsole also doesn't have high-DPI support, which I think is a more serious issue. It's actually impossible to make certain changes with a high-DPI monitor because the buttons draw outside the visible space, so you can't hit them. This mostly relates to changes to firewall objects, such as creating interfaces or routes in a VS.

Here's my 2 cents, they are moving away from the desktop clients and onto the web, question is how well is the web application compared to the desktop and when is it going to happen?

Web applications all suck. They are incapable of ever being even halfway passable.

If Check Point moves away from the proper client application to a web interface, I will move my company (big one with multiple diamond reps) away from Check Point.

I am also wondering where is Dark Mode theme here, in Check Mates. Also, whole Check Point websites (support, beyond, ...).

But hey, there are more serious issues, right ? 😉

You got that right @JozkoMrkvicka 🙂

Haha, don't be like that 😄

Re: Where is Dark Mode?

Senoo — Fri, 31 May 2024 08:36:47 GMT

That's not really the same thing as a native dark mode, but I'll try to remember that 😊

Re: Where is Dark Mode?

Senoo — Fri, 31 May 2024 08:37:48 GMT

Agreed, but eye strain is kinda serious 😅

I remember having old mac grape they called it I think, desktop comp, the BEST, never an issue. Now I use Macbook air for personal use, again, the best. As I always say, its like anything that comes from Japan, superb quality.
