    Best way to display triggers list on big screens

    Hi,

    I'm in the process of migrating our monitoring from Nagios to Zabbix (2.0.2) and I'm almost done. The only thing missing is we have big flat screens in our offices that display the list of current problems.

    I tried creating a Zabbix screen with only the trigger status, but it has a few problems compared to Nagios' strategic view:
    - 15% of the screen height is wasted at the top (screens switchbox, filters, column names)
    - The font is way to small to be readable from everywhere.
    - The table acts weirdly: plenty of free space in most columns, but the 'Host' goes on two lines as soon as there is a space in it.

    From what I understand, I have to create a new theme. But the 'main.css' only contains 11 lines and the HTML code makes my eyes bleed. So I'm not sure I'm on the right path here...

    Is custom theme the way to go? And if it is, where can I find documentation about it?
    Or is there a simpler way to reproduce Nagios' feature?

    Re screen hight:
    Are you aware of the "full screen" button in upper right corner on the screens? You can also put it on as parameter in your urls:
    https://www.zabbix.com/documentation...e_parameters?s[]=fullscreen

    Re font size:
    I am not sure, but I think you can do some change in the php frontend code/definitions.
