TV integration - introducing the Light mode
We just launched a new feature requested by a new users: a light mode for our TV integration. As a reminder, the TV integration is a specially-formatted version of your status page designed to display on a TV. The new light mode is a useful addition that can enhance the readability of your status page on large screens in certain lighting conditions. Or, if you rotate your display with several other screens which have similar light styles, you can now enjoy a better level of consistency across screens.
Iframe integration - meet Dark mode
Meet another update for our Iframe integration! What’s changed? This update brings a dark-mode option for users whose websites or portals are designed with a dark theme in mind. With dark mode for Iframe integration, you now have the flexibility to ensure that your embedded status pages align perfectly with the aesthetic of your website or portal and that your text is readable.
