I didnt think of this, awesome recommendation, thank you.

It feels quite different from the overall look and feel of the interface, service names are now truncated, and the descriptions are no longer visible.

Personally, I find the previous design more practical and easier to read. Hopefully, this change can either be reconsidered, refined, or at least offered as an optional alternative rather than becoming the default for all widgets.

No offense intended—this is simply my personal feedback as a user. I appreciate the work that goes into OPNsense, but for me, this particular change does not feel like an improvement.

Couldn't find any errors, but as always, use at your own risk!

For those who don't want that, here is the good view:
1. Login SSH
2. Press 8 for Shell
3. sudo nano /usr/local/opnsense/www/js/widgets/Services.js
4. Copy Contents in Services.js

5. Reboot

Thank you very much for this tip!

Hi Team

Just some feedback on 26.7.1, the upgrade went fine, but I'm using the vicuna theme and the services widget is pretty much unreadable.

Hope you can fix it at some stage



Tbh, not sure if anyone asked for this change and why this wasnt pushed back against during the RC versions (if it was already implemented there)
The old list was easy on the eyes and has distinct separate parts (aka.. name | controls)

This is basically someone saying: Ow no, I cant figure out if my hardware isnt running as its only a red light blinking. Lets make it so that when my hardware doesnt work it changes the color of my entire wall. And hides the power button somewhere on that wall as well.
