[Dashboard] - Ostensive flag (watermark) for "Show Offline" in the Widget

Opened this issue · 3 comments

We really need clear signage for "Show Offline". The current flag (red clock) is good, but many users using the Dashboard cannot interpret it. Many users read the value of the widget and forget to check the date and time of the information.

Therefore, we need a more ostentatious signal as an additional function to the red clock. We thought of a watermark in front of the widget. This would prevent the user from getting confused when reading the widget value.

This functionality will greatly improve users’ interpretation of panel data.

This functionality will prevent the user from interpreting outdated data.
We are noticing that many of our users end up reading data without checking the date and time of the information.
This is something very critical. This implementation will help many Thinger users.

Or use the same "hands down" symbol, as currently used:

The “hand down” symbol could have the same fade-in and fade-out effect that is applied to the “red clock”.
