dark mode for dashboard?

[remixedcat]

As the topic title indicates.... it would be very nice to have for media environments and events. also we test a lot of media hardware here and often I leave a dashboard page open to look at device status and we often have the lights off or dim for movies and blaring white is a little distracting.

Amy ETA on this? I tried using Stylus browser extension and making a new style for it but no luck.

Gotten all sorts of updates I never asked for and did not want. The only thing I want is dark mode for the dashboard. Is it an unreasonable request for enterprise equipment?

[RunsWithBees]

Please not another UI change or update until we have Dark mode. Using a browser or OS dark mode is not smooth. I wouldn't be so hellbent on this if it wasn't so easy to fix. If Cisco want this product used more they are going about it oddly with the harsh color scheme on the primary interface. Seems like an incredible oversight. Surely the people building it had some complaints and headaches along the way? I am not asking you to change brand colors. I am asking to have a system that is comfortable to work in.

[RunsWithBees]

Wow so 2018 this was asked.....so much for this community's effectiveness. I hate companies that treat the user like this. Stupid branding colors are not worth giving the customer a migraine over. Who should we really be talking to to fix this?

[remixedcat]

Agreed this is nuts how they won't just change a few colors and add a button!! I've made 15 albums, got an award nomination, got my music in 3 games, and upgraded tons of systems and lots more in just 3 years lol.

Dark mode has become such a basic function of most programs - it's 2024. We really need a dark mode option. Please save my eyes.

If the Meraki Leadership team will not approve a Dark Mode feature, at least tell the community why not. This was requested over 5 years ago. C'mon man...

Hey super community people,

I just wanted to acknowledge the messages here. I know it has been an ongoing request for a long time and with the new UI for Dashboard there's a lot of changes in the pipeline.

I'll make sure to flag this up internally again and continue to champion this request with our product management team.

Thank you for your continued patience, I know very well how important this is for you all!

I wrote a low-key freak out to support about their "1998" MSP/multi org list"... we got "Global Overview" A few years later, THAT was where the initial login landed you. So you could, after a decade, type a few characters and see the list populate. Instead of scroll through the almost 300 Orgs... like a 1998 webpage.

Shame worked there. I was logging into the dashboard in 2019, to see a list of hyperlinks 300 long. Shaaaaame. People watching over my shoulder always said "Have you tried UBNT?" Shame.

This is totally ridiculous. Like, we are TELLING you because WE are the EXPERTS. Not you. You are selling this, we are the ones buying this. I can tell you UBNT has had dark mode for years now. Its disgusting. The price of the flagship product: LIC-ENT has increased almost 100%. My Org list is under 250 now... going down.

Stop listening to us. The Dark will come when the lights go out.

I support our org's Wi-Fi infrastructure, and I influence the Vendor and product selections for that infrastructure. Cisco/Meraki have been tone deaf on their dark mode stance in a way that smells of outright defiance and disdain for their customers. I've stuck with Meraki for the last several years because my team has been too busy with other higher priority projects to turn our attention to Wi-Fi. But 2025 is looking like the year we reevaluate our Wi-Fi. UniFi leads the list, as they have been LISTENING to their customer base, improving their product offerings, and maintaining their inviting price point. No hard decision yet, but that's where I'm leaning. Your move Meraki. BTW - We were also a full Cisco switching/routing shop for over a decade, but we will complete our transition to FS.com products sometime next year. Same basic reasons. THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT (and we vote with our $$$).

[JustinM2010]

Sales are flat. It was cannibalized and now its dying on the vine. Im down from 300+ active orgs to less than 50 with ZERO sales in 2024.

[RunsWithBees]

If you ask support for help they tell ya "just post on the forum and it will be fixed" This is the most petty feature to withhold. It would not take long at all to develop. I am sure there are many changes in the pipeline. The only 1 I am asking for or want is dark mode. It is not an unreasonable request and it has been a literal eye sore for years. This just isn't getting it done. What is the explanation you get running the request up the flag?

DARK MODE NEEDED!!! MY EYES!!!! 😭😵
