Option to change colors in new traffic logs

Feature Requests

I am having a hard time differentiating between allowed and blocked domains in the New traffic logs page. I see there is a difference when using my phone versus my laptop. Really prefer the old color scheme. Especially in areas with a lot of light, like a tractor. Can we get the old colors back?

Hi Jeremy.
The old mytools page is no longer available, however, thanks for adding the feature request for users to be able to select their own colour scheme.

Here is some additional information that may help with the transition:

  1. Reduce noise checkbox
    The new page/layout introduces a new colour (yellow) for traffic that is not either allowed or blocked but contains important information, like erred traffic as one example. For admins mostly concerned about allowed/blocked traffic, you can select the “Reduce noise” checkbox which will eliminate most of the yellow entries from view

  2. Filter by Allowed or Blocked only
    You can also choose the STATUS dropdown menu at the top of the page to view “Blocked” only traffic or “Allowed” only traffic.

  3. Dark Mode
    The mytools page is dark mode compatible. If the device you are using to view the logs has dark mode enabled, this also may be an option for better visibility for some.

Thanks again for adding this feature request.

We do not set different colours based on the type of device. We do use different colours based on light mode and dark mode. Enabling dark mode on your device will cause the traffic log to also display in dark mode. This works great for devices used in darker rooms, but in bright rooms the visibility often is not as good with dark mode. To make the colours brighter you can either set your phone to bright mode or to automatic (which switches between light and dark depending on the time of day).

This issue is on a laptop. Seems the default there is dark mode.

The laptop must be set to dark mode. Take a look at your system settings and you should be able to change it. You should then see the light mode colours.

It would be better to have a dark mode/light mode toggle. I prefer to use some apps in dark mode but others, light mode is much better.
