My eyes are pretty good. Still I have difficulty in all letters being grey on a bright white background. I wanted to attach a picture how :completed tasks” show. On my iPad. Really, one could hardly distinguish the letters.
Really; i need more contrast!
I just voted. It’s far harder to see the text of completed tasks in Project grid view (new) than it is in My Tasks view (old) right now simultaneously; a step down.
This contrast violates all accessibility standards and is really hard to read the text of completed tasks when you’re in All Tasks or Completed Tasks view. Greying out a few words is one thing, but this is important content that we’re interested in reading if we’ve bothered to change the view from Incomplete Tasks Only.
I hope you’ll consider increasing the contrast of the text here.
Thanks,
Larry

I am having issues too seeing the difference, adjusting the screen color, brightness, contrast settings helps a little bit, but not really.
Whenever I mark a task as complete, it fades our so completely that I cannot read it. If someone else completes a task and I want to check on what they completed, I have “uncomplete” the task in order to read what it was. This is unacceptable. I haven’t found a way to prevent this. Is there one? Is there a way of making a strike-through or a different color that is readable? I consider this a serious issue. Is there a way of setting a theme to make everything more readable?
Hi @anon67387211, welcome to the Asana Community Forum!
When you mark a task complete, it will be still available in your project but their visibility will depend on how you are filtering your tasks.
In order to see all tasks in your project including incomplete tasks, please filter your tasks by All Tasks:
Once you select the filter, you can save this view as default so every time you and your team access the project you will see All Tasks.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
@Emily_Roman - They know that. If you read their question they weren’t asking how to see them again. They were asking how to improve the accessibility of the app.
They said when the task is marked complete it fades a bit, which makes it more difficult to use for those of us with vision impairments and other accessibility issues.

@Emily_Roman, perhaps it’s appropriate to merge this thread into the above?

Font Size, Colour and Visibility - How do i adjust Size, Colour and overall visibility of text in Asana. Fonts are small generally. Completed tasks are almost impossible to read. Yes the data is there however very difficult to see it.

Look like it’s not possible to change the text color of completed tasks, but if you’re using Google Chrome, you can install a “High Contrast” extension to make it easier to see the text.
Some of our users are not able to read the text of completed tasks as the light gray font color is too close to the white background. Suggest adding the ability to change the Complete task text color.

Yes, no problem … how do we combine/collapse these two?
Thanks for your feedback @Kevin_de_Smidt! I’ve gone ahead and merged your post with the main thread to centralize feedback.
Thanks @lpb!

I prefer that my completed tasks use the grey text color – the high-contrast text on completed tasks is getting in my way. Is there a way to set my account so that completed tasks are shown with (low-contrast) grey text?
I maintain long lists of sub-tasks and rely on being able to tell at a glance which tasks are incomplete. High-contrast text on completed tasks makes it difficult to focus on the tasks that still need my attention.

Agreed! I also have long lists of subtasks and the little aqua checkmark is insufficient, I keep getting tripped up figuring out where we are in the process of any given task. I definitely want folks with vision impairment to be able to clearly see what the completed subtasks say, but there has to be a happy medium between light gray and normal.

Has there been color changes recently made to the Subtasks list? All my completed tasks under subtasks are now showing as the full black color as opposed to grey. Its so difficult to quickly distinguish completed vs. uncompleted tasks. Is there a way to change this back so it displays grey?

Yes! Not a fan of this, I was just searching and trying to figure out how to get it to change back.
Do YOU know if this problem (light font in completed tasks) is solved?
Thanks?
