difficult with this layout 
But Iâll keep it in mind 
@Updated 21.06.2015 (watch above)
- whitelist ipâs (future feature?)
- blocklist ipâs (future feature?)
In my mind, this
is rather more cluttered than the current
with perhaps too many different colors and bars and too small text. The previous suggestion
is also colorful but doesnât attempt to cram as much information into a single screen (something the current UI also suffers from btw).
As an aside, I would suggest not including too many elements for features that donât exist - if someone actually tries to implement this UI, that will need to be removed or wait for the features in question to exist⌠

youâre right - its not yet flat at all 
but within the previous suggestion some imho important things were not layouted or are missing:
- folder >< device connection (which folder is shared to which device)
- which device up- or downloads from which device (current sync)
- button usage isnât consistently (one button on top - one button below/ once there is a edit-button once not)
- progress on syncing (if using a responsive design, there canât be a âhoverâ blob)
- global/local (same as above)
- progress overall/total (missing)
- filesync-details (missing)
once all these infos will be layouted, it will not be as clear as it is now I guessâŚ
but these âmissing linksâ were the reason to layout another gui. honestly I need to get it flat - but first of all, I always worry about the features and then about the final layout.
maybe âtruth lies in the middleâ as usual 
and itâs probably not the final version
Iâll make it flat in the next versions 
update 22.06.: (watch above)
- rework colors & forms (get it flat)
- âedit deviceâ beside devices (better mobile usability - less modals)
update 22.06. II (watch above)
- added settings, device edit & filesync-details to the right panel (better mobile usability - less modals)
update 23.06. (watch above)
- added folder-settings (finally )
Hello !
All this is so appealing to me! I know itâs a WIP, but is there a way to âtestâ one of these UIs ? None of them seem too colorful for me.
I would love to get it developed - but my html, js / angular and css knowledge are - letâs say - rusty 
Iâm still searching for a developer, who could code this piece of code 
Labelling potentially interested frontend developers as âgeeksâ probably wonât help your cause 
oh ******* 
just translated it into germanâŚ
in german itâs not negativ to call someone a geek and
to be honest I would call myself a junior geek (german version!!) too 
in german geeks are technically minded people, who are always up-to-date using new technicsâŚ
letâs say: Iâm searching for a Pro to develop this for us
just opened up a rep:
Everyone is invited. It would take too long if I would do it (alone) - and the results would be 
Update 29.06.15 added âiPhone-likeâ switch / toggle buttons to:
- folderview
- device-settings
- foldersettings
Where do we find these updates?
in the pics above 
I always update the âoldâ picturesâŚ
Ah. That wasnât obvious.

I guess the Names below âShared withâ doesnt scale very well if there are too many Hosts (like 10 or so)

yes I know - but I have no solution for this for now⌠coming soon 
Update 06.07.2015 (see pics above)
- added âadvancedâ settings (button)
- added android contact-like identicons to folderview (thanks to @fti7)
- fixed settings view
Random thoughts:
- I donât like the drop-downs for adding new folders/devices. Since there are only 2 options available, why not have 2 buttons?
- The network graph takes up a huge area of the screen, by comparison with everything else
- The âAction -> copy to clipboardâ on the Device ID seems a bit pointless. Why not just have a button to copy straight to clipboard?
- The Reused/Copied from original/Downloading/etc colours on the âSync-Detailsâ page are too similar. People with forms of color blindness especially are going to hate you here, but as a color-seeing person I have to keep cross-referencing the colors against the key.
- The ârestart needed!â dialog is going to get annoying. Fast. What if you want to change a bunch of settings, then restart once afterwards? Youâre going to have to click âlaterâ a bunch of times, and itâs going to piss you off.
- Why is there a âGUI Authentication Userâ under âFolder-Settingsâ?
- Some numeric boxes have little < and > arrows, but others donât.
- The icon youâve used for the Syncthing version means âforkâ, not âversionâ
- The options to shut down / reboot Syncthing are really hidden.
- Iâm not a fan of the toggle buttons
