This is definitely an issue associated with an upgrade as we are rolling out a
4.1.2.20 to users and they are reporting it and I can see it myself.
All of my connections that show as black and normal have the colour property of
no colour. The few that are greyed out seem to have selected the grey option.
That has not been done by me or other users.
I have reset the greyed out ones to no colour and they are back as normal,
showing black lettering.
It is not a big issue but it is definitely a feature

Right, I’m assuming there’s an issue here and not a fat-finger phenomenon where
someone has inadvertently set the connection color to a visible grey in the
connection properties.
Or if on upgrade, that would be weird…but interesting. Again, assuming if
that’s the case you would be saying the connection color IS set to grey. Then
we can figure out the how/why it got there.

I saw this as an artifact of an upgrade one time. It is just the color for the
connection. You can change it. Right-click->properties on the connection and
then click the little button next to "Connection Color."

Yes, I can change properties to the greyed-out ones as well as the ‘available’
ones.
There seems to be no obvious difference between the two types or reason why
some are greyed-out and others are not

Ok, but you didn’t answer my first question. They appear “greyed out” -> If
you right click and select properties – are you able to view/change the
properties of the connection?

Yes fully functioning in that I can connect to a database and run a query –
which is about all I ever do. We have many people reporting this though

Fully functioning – can they also edit the connection properties?
What version of SQL Developer are you and your users using?

Subject: SQL Developer connections greyed out
Can anybody help me understand why connections in SQL Developer appear greyed
out but are fully functioning
I have seen comment that it is to do with the colour being set -
Connect/Properties - but that has not being knowingly set and yet some just
appear as greyed out but most are not
We are seeing a lot of users with this problem now and it is a question I would
like to be able to answer, if only for my own satisfaction.
