it looks fine the way it is, but i prefer the blue color be replaced with the yellow and black striped theme for experimental builds and then your standard theme for stable builds. _________________ For people who are new to the dd-wrt forums >> http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html#rtfm

Anyone ever gave any thought about updating the GUI for dd-wrt?
I see Tomato now has something called AdvancedTomato and the interface uses the technology of modern browsers (CSS/HTML5)
its not that dd-wrt is broken, but maybe a gui refresh wont hurt.
Food for though.
I did think about it, but a complete rework would take very long and it would be buggy for a long time. Tomato's webif code compared to dd-wrt's is really simple, since they only support a few broadcom routers. Thus this would need one dedicated developer to work on this exlusively and honestly if the router works well you should see the webif only once at the time you set it up.
It is more important, to create the webif in a way that users understand.
Thus question is wheter you want a fancy webif and stick with low end routers or you want high end routers and a stable webinterface which everybody already knows and can help you with it.
While this tomato webif is probably cool, it only runs on outdated hardware. Thus doesn't help people with fast internet connections, their webif may be fast but the line will be slow. _________________ KONG PB's: http://www.desipro.de/ddwrt/

Thanks for the response. I didn't realize (and probably didn't know) all the ins and outs that separated Tomato from DD-WRT.
