toggle button

[cruiser2]

Just an opinion:
I don‘t like your new default toggle button concept (observed in 14.3.0.7) even when I recognize the space saving (of the ON/OFF line). The relay status (ON or OFF) is now expressed in the color of the button of which one is the regular blue and the other a slightly dimmer color. Besides the fact that this color combination might be hard to read on a smartphone under certain daylight conditions they are generally not in line with the far more recognized colors for “go-no go” statuses: green and red. For an eye catching clarity I even would like to see the words ON or OFF again.

Thx for input.

If you like you can change the button colors with commands WebColor11 (default) and WebColor20 (Off).

The words ON and OFF are gone forever as in a 32 relay configuration it was a complete mess.

Ok just updated a device to see it. Sorry, but I HATE it:

No more a clear message over the state of a central function of the device but color guessing. :/

Really, for an admin interface that I mainly use to checkout correct functionality and state representation, where it is so easy for a logic inversion to sneak in on all levels from hardware to smart home I will really miss that tasmota speaks a clear language to me!

I'm sure you thought about it, but here is my kind appeal anyways: Please introduce some "if buttons < n" logic :)

I just discover this discussion and I also gave it a try
I'll join the crusade as really doesn't like it, even if I can change the colours

I understand the concern for large number of relays but IMHO this is still an edge case.
How many Tasmota devices have more than 8 or even more than 4 relay/light/power ?

Please consider a if or at least a #if to restore the prvious view

Thanks

I typically switch one relay on/off in my Tasmota applications. I would like a clear, easily recognizable statement about this on/off state. Thanks.

For those who hate change, still use WorPerfect 4.2 and Windows 10, I'll try to add ON/OFF back for up to the first 8 power buttons...

How about this:

love u 2 😍

Implemented in latest dev release. Use SetOption161 1 to get rid of state text (I default show state text now to prevent heart attacks)

[cruiser2]

Thank you for taking care (even of my heart)!

I guess that most users will not even be aware of SetOption161 when they are not hating on the change 😁

[Wintespe]

Thanks for the nice stuff 😁

well, it once was about slider updates - now it has a much better use 🙂
And about hate: my psychotherapist said I have to let my feelings out - sorry about that 😉

Thanks a lot @arendst

@arendst - thanks for the great work.... Ok, got the latest tasmota dev this morning - tried colours - I can't seem to separate the on off colors from the other buttons like config, information etc. Could you please give an example of say - red for on, blue for off - leaving the remaining buttons (config, info etc) alone at a different colour?

[sfromis]

Specific colors depends on what theme you've selected, standard ones:
https://tasmota.github.io/docs/WebUI/#themes
The color for "off" is the last one, WebColor20, and the general setup is that the color for "off" is "less prominent" while the color for "on" is the same as the menu buttons below, but you can set up your own if you prefer.

You can see details in the build config overrides for WebColor, but you do not need to do a build to change them; they are persistent if you use the WebColor command to change.
