Question

gui-object-colors doesn't enable interface colors in 5.6?

Just noticed that my setting of: 

# config system settings # set gui-object-colors enable

Doesn't seem to enable per-interface changeable colors in 5.6.5 (FortiGate 300D and 100D). 

I can still set colors for the FortiSwitch VLAN interfaces.

 

Anybody know if the functionality can be enabled somewhere else, or if this feature was dropped or is broken?

Per-interface colors have only ever been available for FortiSwitch VLAN interfaces.

Sorry, but I was using colors on non FortiSwitch vlan interfaces in 5.4.x.

 

Here's the KB article on how to enable them: http://kb.fortinet.com/kb/viewContent.do?externalId=FD38659&sliceId=1.

That article is for address objects, and is still valid. Interfaces aren't mentioned.

I ran into the same issue on 5.6.5 setting gui-object-colors didn’t enable per-interface colors either. Seems like it might be limited or broken in this version. Hoping Fortinet brings it back in future updates. On a side note, I found some sonic colouring pages free printable while waiting on firmware fun little distraction!
