Hi,
After updated metabase to latest version, few tables on my dashboard are appearing grey in color, like a disabled button , which is making it very hard to read data. Is there something that can be dont to show these tables as normal tables ?

I believe you're running into this issue, which occurs when you have a global dashboard filter that doesn't apply to every card on your dashboard:

Reporting/Dashboards
Currently when you apply a filter to a dashboard it will fade out all cards that… are not affected by that filter. I understand this behavior is about usability, so users can easily distinguish what data is being affected by the filter they applied. However, if you happen to have more than one filter and apply them all at once, the end result is that all cards get faded and the dashboard becomes hard to read.
As an example, I have the following dashboard where initially users set the Company ID filter. This fills the data for 3 cards and fades out the bottom left one (Prize Winners):
If users want more detail, they can pick the "ID" number from the top left card and insert it into the "Prize ID" filter. This fills the data for the bottom left card, but at the same time fades out the other 3 cards... resulting in a totally faded dashboard that is hard to read:
Maybe the frontend could not fade everything when more than 1 filter is applied?
I'm using 0.22 now but have been experiencing this since filters were introduced in an older release.
Browser: Chrome 55.0.2883.95 (64-bit)
OS: OS X El Capitan (10.11)
Database: MySQL 5.5
Metabase: 0.22
Hosting: Amazon Linux (runs inside my EC2 instance on AWS)
Internal DB: H2
Thanks!
This is not a bug, but it's a UX issue that we're looking at revisiting.
