Is there a way to customize the work item colors in TFS 2012 kanban board?

azure-devops, kanban, tfs

Solution

No, there is no non-hack way to change the color of the cards. This functionality is rumored to be "on the backlog" however.

Problem

I would like to differentiate the work item types (i.e. product backlog items vs bugs) using colors or icons, to improve the board visualization.
