Print in Your Books too faint

I haven't been in Your Books for a few days, but today I tried to enter information and the print, and the boxes are so light it is difficult to read. The boxes I can't see at all. Is this a new feature, or just something weird? Can I do anything about it?

>1 mysterymax: Wrong group to ask in, but my page looks normal. No fade, no faint print.

Possibly a bug for your server/device combination?

What browser and OS (operating system) are you using (e.g. Google Chrome, version 90 and Windows 7, etc.)? What happens if you access the same page in an incognito browser/window?

Google Chrome, Windows 10. I checked it with Microsoft Edge and it's the same.

Just looked at mine, yes I agree, it does look fainter than it used to. Edge Version 112.0.1722.34 (Official build) (64-bit), Windows 11 Home,

Mine looks same as usual, Windows 10, latest Firefox

Curious. On current updates of both Windows 11 and Firefox; on a PC -- not chromebook.
And, mind you, I don't think I've been on the Your Books page in possibly ten years.

Only the Dimensions column shows up in black.
The rest of the columns are a sort of slate blue, which is much more difficult to read.

>7 WholeHouseLibrary: Are all of the other columns in your view links? Tags, Title, Author, Collections, Series are all links for example.

I am not seeing any faintness when testing on my test accounts or others' accounts, on Windows 10 / Edge 112 ...

Can anyone provide a screenshot of what they're seeing so we can compare?

Yeah, it looks like many fields aren't showing up as blue links but the default grey text which would appear more faded...

For everyone seeing the more faded look in "Your books", what Style setting are you using on Talk/etc.? (e.g. System Standard, System Large, etc.)

Mine is also lighter. I'm using Verdana Standard on Safari on an iPad. (Some version of Safari, I don't know where to see that info on the iPad.)

>13 kristilabrie: Verdana Standard (I don't think I've ever changed it)

>8 AnnieMod:, literally everything I click on is a link -- even the dimension display. But, now I'm seeing random cells displaying characters in green. Most are still blue.
I swear, I haven't had flashbacks in decades!

>16 WholeHouseLibrary: Green means community data that is not a link but text (it is black if you save it in your book; green if it comes from the work level).

The dimensions is not a link - clicking on it does not open a page like clicking on the title or author name or a tag for example. However - clicking on it does have an action.

Should be fixed now. But let me know if you are still seeing any remnants.
This was a case of that particular page still needing access to some old styling rules that were overriding our new ones.

It's still the same on mine. Not only is it faint, but it's tiny.
