Description Gary Xue CLA 2008-05-01 20:00:52 EDT
Bugs in "Closed" state are currently displayed using Strike-through font. The problem is, strike-through text is hard to read. I have to read a lot of Closed bug entry summaries, and this really slows me down. 

Can we use something other than strike-through for these bugs, like a different color, italics, or a new font? Just don't choose double-strike-through.

Really?  Why?

If you run searches, you can exclude CLOSED bugs from your search altogether.

This might be hard to believe but there are folks who have to search CLOSED bug entries for the purpose of supporting users of Eclipse-based products. I for one have a frequent need to locate a closed bug and look at the bug history and the release that the fix went into etc.

I'm hesitant to change the default value.  If you use Firefox, you can override the Bugzilla CSS and create your own skin.

See my screenshot.

I used the Stylish extention for Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2108

I'm not sure what happened to my first screenshot.

I'll close this as worksforme, as this is a global setting and there's a reasonable workaround to suit individual tastes.

The Firefox solution works just fine for me. Thanks for the tips Denis.
