sview - SLES 11, 15.08

Hi 

With our previous SLURM version (15.08 on SLES11) the display showed the nodes colour-coded according to the jobs running on them.

Now (16.05.8, SLES 12), we see a field of radio-buttons, which don't change colour.

Also: if the node is marked as "not responding" (red with a white bar), the state only changed if the node/button is clicked.

Is this expected behaviour? (The old behaviour was much more useful for "at-a-glance" diagnostics).

I'll attached before-and-after screenshots.

Thanks, and best regards

Ciaron

The color-coding is affected by the GTK theme in use - the GTK theme affects whether the colors will display properly. The node status grid is made up of button widgets, and certain GTK themes don't show the color setting as desired.

If you change GTK themes I believe you'll see the colors again. There's a private bug (bug 3164) describing this situation, and is pending work as an enhancement request to change how those widgets are used into something compatible with newer GTK3-based desktops.

Hi Tim

Thanks for the information. We've disabled GTK themes for now, and we have the old-school SLES11 look back ;)

We can close this ticket now.

Best regards

Ciaron
