ESM Console is one of Arcsight's desktop applications.
ESM Console looked a bit old and outdated which affected its "curb appeal" to potential customers.
My only instruction from management was to make it look "better."
Part of the project was to develop and light and dark themes. Light theme was designed first.
The dark theme helps reduce eye strain in darker environments like in a Security Operations Center (SOC).
