3.15 - Gray Input Boxes
by John Amundson 13 May '25

13 May '25

Hi, I have begun looking over Evergreen 3.15, and I'm noticing that most input fields appear gray, like these in Patron Search: [image: image.png] And in Patron Registration: [image: image.png] There are also many other examples. Mainly it seems to affect AngularJS screens? Does anyone know if this change was intentional? I'm having a hard time getting my brain to adjust. To me the gray implies that I can't/shouldn't fill out the fields, but obviously I should and need to in some cases. I checked Launchpad for fixes that might have come with this change, but I didn't necessarily see anything. I can file a new LP bug about this display change as I currently consider it a bug, but before I do so I wanted to check in the community to see if this was intentional or not. Thanks!
