Re: pfSense 2.4.4 - Status - DHCP Leases - New Feature Request - Online Column contents colored ?
So, I was about to post asking for this feature. I would have to disagree that this is not useful.
When you are using PFsense for a while you probably end up with plenty of devices. and it is really hard to see what is what. Is it online? Was it online? is it offline? And it does not have to be perfect real time. It really would make reading the page a lot easier. For example, if you are having trouble getting a certain device online, and you are checking here, if it is always red, well, something is wrong.
It does help.That 2018 post:

Hello
All is in the title !!!
Goal : Improve sight when there is a lot of devices in the list.
As example :
All "online" Status are colored in "Green"
All "offline" Status are colored in "Red"
Regards

And actually if having "colors" is a problem, perhaps having the offline devices as inverse text could be just as good:
All "online" Status are Regular Text
All "offline" Status are colored INVERSE text -

devs probably have more urgent matters to deal with then adjusting some text colours.
if you wish to get this implemented yourself, it's fairly easy:
- login to github
- clone/fork pfsense repo
- adjust the code around here
-
- probably needs an IF to change color green or red
- commit changes to your fork
- create pullrequest
- register on redmine.pfsense.org
- create or edit feature request with details of your pullrequest
- wait for one of the core-devs to review & accept or deny your pullrequest

Using colors as an indication isn't good enough on its own, especially Red/Green, as color blind individuals may not be able to distinguish the difference. It's best to use icons instead (or in addition to) color indications.
