Readable text for backlog items that you don't have permission to edit

If you enable roles & permissions, then text that the logged in user can't edit is grayed out in a disabled control. Ok, that's fine, but it's near close to unreadable (light gray text on a lighter gray background). You also can't select the text to copy/paste it somewhere else. Please, please change this so we can read the text.

  • Can we use some color other than gray for the descriptive text? The contrast is pretty low for easy reading. Either make it darker (75% vice 50%) or customizable by the user so its more easily readable.

    Can anybody help with the following ergonomics-related issue in the ScrumWorksPro desktop client (before I report it as a problem):

    For me, being a regular team member, all backlog item descriptions are greyed-out. While it is fine that I cannot EDIT them, I still want to READ them thoroughly and carefully - therefore I am more than annoyed about the very little contrast of the grey-on-grey lettering.

    Is there something wrong in our setup? Can I, or someone else like our Scrum master, change the appearance of BLIs for team members? (but keeping them "disabled", i.e., not editable?)

  • This is addressed in release 5.0. We did change the colors so the text is a little more readable. The font color is a little darker and the background lighter than before. (Click to view full size):


    In the new web client, we kept this feedback in mind and made all "read only" components look high contrast:
