Why is my Premiere Pro CS6 Duration Display inactive?
Learning Premiere Pro CS6 and wondering why the duration display in both my source window and my program window are greyed out. The yellow playhead position timecode display on the left is visible, but the white duration display on the right seems to be turned off. I can’t find any info anywhere that discusses this. I’m sure it’s something simple, but I’m stumped…help?

That duration display numbers are normally grey (not orange/yellow)…but you’re saying it’s not working at all? Does it show you numbers of any kind?
It should show you the length of the media in the source or the sequence TC of the last active frame of media on your sequence if you don’t have an in-out specified in either case…when it would then show you the length between in and out.

Thanks Tim, yes, you’re right…if I look close I can see that they are there and working, but they are such a dark grey that they blend in with the window background and are nearly invisible. In the edit suite across the hall they are white and easy to see. The tutorials I’ve seen all show them as white. I’ve tried resetting my workspace and that doesn’t seem to help…and I can’t seem to find a preference setting that would make a difference anyway. Not sure what I did to make them so hard to read…

Ok, it’s fixed…I just tried resetting the brightness on appearance preferences and the white font popped right into view…even after I dialed the brightness back down to where I had it originally…weird. Thanks…

I see… There are areas in the interface that do become less than optimally visible at some interface brightness settings I’ve noticed.
I tend to run it as low as it goes, and certain buttons and widgets do get a bit subtle.
