Commonly, they usually want you to make the changes and submit them - not task them with a purely cosmetic change simply because you just want it that way.
In any case, I hope the best.
Also, how do you pick the colors - as every device doesn't have the same LED colors?
Traffic lights are coloured not written in any language, why, bcz high contrast colours are easier to distinguish.
92% of people aren't colour blind.
Even colour-blind people usually have one type of colour blindness, so we can still help them with specific themes or colour schemes depending on their usage.
I am not experienced enough to do a pull request, not a developer by profession. I describe myself as an "experienced noob"
English is not my first language, so usage of "should"sound excessive.
I have used Openwrt since 2012, but left the project bcz my previous router was packed up and not required in the intervening years. during this time, I had some experience with Homeassistant another Open-source project where there is a dedicated forum for "Feature requests".
In fact the latest project, I am trying to help with was started as a feature request, leading to two HA integration by excellent developers.
Hovering the up/down bytes provides detailed stats:
So far so good, potential issues/quirks/unexpected behaviors:
We don't know the actual port labels printed on the device. While DSA devices are supposed to name their netdevs after the external case labels, I'm not sure if it is universally true
Only considers ethernet ports mentioned in /etc/board.json
Does not expose the OEM intended role of the port ("WAN port", "LAN port", "SFP port")
Default wan/lan zone colors (red & green) or the zone color bar in general might be mistaken as some kind of port status indicator (active/inactive/error or 100M vs. 1G indication)
I don't think jow will entertain backport requests at this point. I just tried on 22.03 and it doesn't work there, this is meant to be tested on master.
