Visualize a Blocked Task in TFS 2012 Task Board

Question

Has anyone found a way to visualize when a task is blocked on the TFS 2012 task board? It would be great if I could find a way to change the visualization (color, etc). I saw a couple of requests on the VS board which I voted for, but was hoping someone might have found a hack =)

Answer 1

You could write a tfs 2012 web access plugin. Tiago Pascoal wrote a good example of one - Team Foundation Task Board Enhancer - it adds a number of things (including task id) to the board. Changing the color should be extremely easy once you can figure out if a task is blocked.
