Time Stamp text font is too light

[ChrisMu]

Is anyone else seeing this problem? Early this week I noticed that the font color of the timestamps for the updates is such a light color of gray it is illegible unless you highlight it. Workfront says this was a change as part of their upgrade but now I can't read the timestamp. They have told me to submit a change to this to the Idea Exchange. Is this bothering anyone else?

Hi Chris, I just had one of my users complaining about this today. The font is indeed a bit light, and on some users' monitors (or those users with less than perfect eyesight), the issue is exacerbated to the point they can't read it. I'll log an incident and encourage you to do this too. Regards, David Cornwell

Hi - Support have advised me: "With our 18.3 release, our design team did choose to make the font lighter. There has been an "https://support.workfront.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360020659614-System-update-Time-and-Date-stamps-have-been-changed-to-a-font-color-so-light-that-it-is-difficult-to-read-">idea submitted to our Idea Exchange recommending making the font darker. I would recommend to "upvote" this idea to see it changed. In the meantime, I would suggest adjusting monitor settings to see if a higher contrast or saturation may help visibility with this current font color." I really wish we didn't have to vote to fix what are essentially bugs, but I've done so. If this is an issue for you too, please log a support ticket (so they know the volume of complaints) and also vote via the link below.

was this change mentioned in the release notes? I feel like I missed something.

Yep it changed in the 18.3 release. Not sure if it was as a result of the 18.2 changes to the system updates, but I actually "https://community.workfront.com/discussions/community-home/digestviewer/viewthread?MessageKey=f0dde019-5b35-4b54-98af-4dd1c394ea1b&CommunityKey=aaafaff0-5e4e-4e38-8903-f1f990935567&tab=digestviewer#bmf0dde019-5b35-4b54-98af-4dd1c394ea1b#bm24">prefer it . @Skye Hansen - the release notes feel incomplete for the latest release tbh. For example Home and the Resource Planner now honour terminology defined in the Layout Template (which is great) but it's not mentioned anywhere! Jamie Hill JLL EMEA

Geez, yeah that's bad. I hadn't had to look at a time stamp since the release, but looking at it now gives me a headache trying to read it. It's pretty terrible. Time for Workfront to put and older person on their GUI Design team. These dang kids today �� . Oh yeah, I upvoted this. And I think I'll log a ticket as well.

I have a ticket open for this, 1171491. If you open one, mention it. I'll drop a note in the ticket letting them know there is noise in the community. I can't stand it when I have to triple click the row to read the info.

Inconsistency all over the place reminds me of walking into a house where every room has different tile, carpet and wood all meeting in the hallway. I'd rather it be 70's orange shag carpet throughout.

Hi all, I was just in the process of dealing with this issue by highlighting Update text with my mouse so it has a blue background so that the timestamp was readable so I could then take a screenshot of it to share a colleague. I then thought "This is ridiculous that we are STILL dealing with this issue!" The idea on the idea exchange is now up to 25 votes so if you have this issue and haven't voted yet, please do so. I can't believe we have to vote to fix this simple issue.... Regards, David Cornwell

Hi David, As below, this clever "https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/a%2B-fontsize-changer-lite/ckihgechpahhpompcinglebkgcdgpkil">Chome plugin offers quick relief while you await the official font changes you've requested. I discovered it tonight and have been playing around with it a bit. Looks like it works on any CSS enabled website. And for low lighting, you can quickly flick to light font on dark background. And if you goof (which I did), simply click Reset Colors. It's a Keeper. Regards, Doug Doug Den Hoed - AtAppStore Got Skills?

I agree David. A few of our users have recently started to complain about it being difficult to read timestamps. One user thought that Workfront completely removed all timestamps because they couldn't see them. It is discouraging to see that the idea exchange is becoming a place to revert system updates.
