Specially when projecting VersionOne for several people to view at the same time not sitting in front of their desktops is very tedious and difficult. We have had several complaints that the Backlog Items and tasks are not viewable in such meetings.
The problem is that you have chosen a light font color and small font size on white background. It would be very helpful and VersionOne would be more useful if you either were able to configure the font color and size per user or choose a darker color and a bigger font.

I've dealt with this in other systems when I was a usability person. We created "modes" for our system which swapped stylesheets. One was for desktop viewing, another was high contrast for projector or dark room viewing.
Interesting idea, but I don't know how big the need is (the votes will tell).
Being able to set the stylesheet might also help with another problem. If I paste in text from an external application, and that text is in HTML format, the HTML formatting comes along for the ride, and may cause other elements within the page (i.e. outside of the description) to take on some of the formatting of the pasted text.
As of the Spring 2011 release, it's possible to resize the content of grids. Using the Grid Zoom allows the user to control the font size and line height. Suppose you're working on the backlog grid on a large monitor, you can shrink the content to get as much as possible in view; if you want to later show the backlog to others, such as on a projector, you can expand the content size to make it more readable.
The grid zoom control is available on the grid and the setting is remembered server-side per user. Adjusting the size affects all of that user's grids.
