That's fair. I'm not a designer, however, so apologies if I can't be more specific..


Using the opnsense theme for the sake of this, which I assume to be the default, and which I'd assume to be updated alongside changes like this (although it's not really any different in advance, rebellion and the mentioned cicada).

I'd think it's immediately obvious, but the widget is an entirely different style.
Every other widget has more spacing between elements in a very consistent logical fashion. Even widgets that do contain colors, the spacing and the shape help relax it.

The new service widget is just one big boxy block of color that looks out of place among the more elegant design of everything else (minus maybe the interfaced widget, but I fixed it in the dashboard editor just now by increasing the size once and then reducing it again, which hides the port information on narrower sizes correctly - EDIT: well, maybe not, a reload breaks it again).

The design and ease of use in the dashboard was something I always appreciated with opnsense (I have to deal with a large checkmk installation for work, I know bad dashboard design ;)).

The service widget is so bad I had to sign up to add another voice to this (which, y'know, speaks to how well it works otherwise).

It's just completely out of place and clashes style-wise with every other widget.
It's also pretty much broken in the Cicada theme.

Please re-think this and start from scratch if you really want to condense it.
