For me as an older person, the new display of the text in white with a black background is extremely difficult. The images in the background dominate the text backgrounds at the front in the visual perception and make it very difficult for older people to understand the text.
Is there a way to get the old typeface back?
Is there a more text-only version of the menu display without image tiles that also allows visually impaired people to find their way around better?
In the new version 4.0 a designer has realized,
and completely forgetting the basic rules that function comes before appearance
Since the last rollout, the TV Gide appears black with white font. However, the “General Settings” menu item is no longer found in the settings and therefore there is no option to set the interface back to white like it used to be. The entire “general settings” menu column is missing. The option is still available on my second TV, which has not yet been updated. How can I change the black background back to white?

This no longer works, what you have is the new OS4, nothing works with white or gray anymore, only black (dark mode) and the setting no longer exists.
Now it’s time to get used to it.

It’s a shame that you can’t get rid of the black background. I was really happy about the pleasant white design when I switched from U*C to Swisscom. This also bothers Netflix. Now it’s being forced on us. If the design is a matter of taste, as you say, then let’s adapt it to our tastes. The current one is just 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

No, you definitely don’t spend too long in the menu, but if you can’t read it it’s just **** and you have to spend even longer at a point where you can’t wants to be. I also just want to watch TV. But if I have trouble reading the program, then it’s annoying. You can set up any smartphone however you want. That’s actually what I expect from a TV box for which I pay I don’t know how much every month. And I haven’t seen service from Swisscom for a long time. I’m just frustrated.
What also bothers me extremely is that at the start of the advertising
suddenly channels are suggested like on YouTube.
In the replay you first have to push this away before you can fast forward.
Luxury problem I know, but @MamaDrama is right that you can configure every smartphone individually, except the TV-Box.
There is still no real child function. Why?
On the IB3 I can set a fixed time window and a maximum online time within the time window for a Mac or IP address. Why is this still not possible at TV-Box?
It makes no sense to have full control over your child’s online time and internet behavior, but you no longer have control over the TV.
Sure, you can set the sleep timer on the television, but the freaked out child just sets the device back on.
In my opinion, what kind of television programs the child is allowed to watch is the responsibility of the Eltern, as there are enough indications as to which year the program is suitable for.
Sometimes it seems to me like in school where the Eltern simply shift the responsibility onto the teacher.
It must be possible to build on trust without programming everything that you are allowed or not allowed to do.
I never had a problem with it with my children in the past, but you can say that it’s not that easy anymore with the whole environment.

There was never any talk about what kind of television programs the child was allowed to watch. It’s great to have a children’s channel list so that the child can zap on their own.

Unfortunately, a lot of Eltern have the feeling that the teacher has to be held responsible if, for example, the child does very poorly in school. I agree with you that the main responsibility lies with the Eltern.
So it should also be possible for the children to be on the Internet for exactly 1 hour a day and to strictly adhere to this time. But you can forget about that straight away. That’s why the IB3 also has the option to configure exactly this.
The Internet - be it at home or mobile - is omnipresent. You only have absolute control at home in your own network if you define a daily time window (e.g. 8:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.) and the child has a maximum of 1 hour of online time, depending on their age. Then things get even more complicated when it comes to the subject of cell phones. Do I give the child an old cell phone of mine or do I buy the child one of the latest smartphones? With the old cell phone there is a possibility that the child will be bullied. It used to be like that, just with the branded clothes.
So why shouldn’t Eltern be able to configure the TV-Box like the IB3?
It doesn’t make any sense to me that you have full control over internet consumption (at home), but not on TV.
Unfortunately, our child cannot be trusted when it comes to watching television. But that is a matter in itself.

As you mentioned, the whole environment used to be different. Today the little ones grow up between consoles, smartphones and televisions. There were no smartphones when I was a child. There was a Nintendo NES which was mainly used by my mother… 😂 The TV was rarely on.
The dark design is all well and good, but in the guide you could make the upper section black, but where the information is written it might be lighter. U_C has a bluish background, which is much better, The TV Shield has a greenish and dark gray background, which is much more pleasant to read.
It can’t be that I have to change the sharpness or contrast on the TV because of the guide, it’s set correctly. Since I have both TV boxes HD and UHD I can see the direct comparison, my eyes simply have trouble reading the black one.
But what is still a mystery to me is why are images in high resolution with a dark background? The films must be high resolution.
Personally, I now miss the replay display, which had a dark gray background on the old one when you couldn’t look back anymore.
Dear Swisscom,
Please start a survey to see who likes this dark mode nonsense.
Not everything needs to be changed just so that it was changed.
Does Swisscom actually take the needs of its customers into account?
Use your resources for more sensible things, and at least allow the transition away from this garbage again!!
And please don’t start film production, otherwise you’ll probably produce the films in dark mode…
Thanks
