Proposed functionality
This is revisit of #15379. There @jeremystretch mentioned that the coloring would go away in v4.0, but it seems they are still there, hence my resubmit of this FR
Can we have a poll with the community to see what they prefer ?
Currently the background color of an interface is like this :
disabled: red
virtual: blue
enabled, marked_connected: green
enabled, connected (cable status color) : green/blue/..
enabled, no cable : white
My proposal is to change the color coding to:
disabled: white
virtual: blue
enabled, marked_connected: green
enabled, connected (cable status color) : green/blue/...
enabled, no cable : red
Use case
The 'red' color is confusing, as it tells me something is 'wrong'. but having an interface in the disable state is not wrong.
With the proposed change, this view would become more logic (red = wrong state )
Having an 'enabled' interface, without a cable is 'danger'
A disabled interface is just good, that can be white.
