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!

Hi John, We are seeing that in 3.14 since we applied some patches. I suspect it comes from https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/2106666 We’re also seeing some contrast issues that I suspect are from it as well (https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/2109745) Jennifer -- Jennifer Pringle (she/her) Co-op Support - Training Lead BC Libraries Cooperative Toll-free: 1-888-848-9250 Email:jennifer.pringle@bc.libraries.coop Website: http://bc.libraries.coop Gratefully acknowledging that I live and work in the unceded Traditional Territory of the St'at'yemc Nations.

Thanks, Jennifer! This is very helpful. I'm going to file a bug because I don't think the gray fields are very user-friendly.
