Why is space in GUI still not properly used?

Hi,

optimized search functions and other features aside, why does WebAdmin still not scale with resolution?

We're not talking about QuadHD or 4K, I am on FullHD.

Why are certain object names like firewall rule names still being cut off after ~15 characters?

Why do I need to scroll when there is plenty space for the content to be displayed?

Don't get me wrong, I like the new "enhancements".

But GUI overhaul and issues like those aforementioned are all things that Sophos support has mentioned to be resolved in target release v19 multiple times, and now I see that it is still not being implemented.

Is it so hard to implement responsive design?

Kind regards,

cougz

There are limited resources for each task and each version. To overall such a change would need also a revamp of ALL objects and pages. Its about not breaking pages etc. To do this change, Sophos needs to rebuild certain pages etc.

And btw: This page is for the most commonly used web resolution build (by that time, SFOS was released). Now in 2021, FullHD took over: https://www.browserstack.com/guide/ideal-screen-sizes-for-responsive-design

So it is something, Sophos is looking into, but its not "that easy to implement". Therefore we need to revisit certain aspects and do this later down the road.
