I have a template that, no matter how I put it in a window (dragging & droping, template canvas etc), appears grayed out.

This is a part of the template on the Designer:  
 ![good](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/a/0/a06e52ffbe403b4f569b110dca2b59bfe2afeb6c.jpeg)

and this the same part in Vision:  
 ![bad](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/8/3/83a44745abf742ea085096b6f801bc79c15f2b20.jpeg)

Throughout the page, I noticed that only components with a Background color property are being grayed out, all other components display properly.

The template is the only component in the window.

In the template editor _[not the window editor]_ are the enabled properties unchecked?

...or is there a binding of some kind on the enabled properties?

If by template editor you mean this, here it is:

Also, there are no bindings anywhere on the page.

I tried creating another template to check if the same thing happened

e

and I dragged it on the page and it appeared normally

but on vision there is still the same issue

It's just this template, and I can't figure out why.

On a side note, we both have a cup of coffee as our profile picture 😀

You need to edit that template, and look at the individual components within that template. Look for anything that would affect the `enabled` property of the greyed out parts of the template.

Unchecking this property in the subcomponents of the template is what causes the greyed out appearence:

Something is unchecking the enabled properties of the internal components within the template.
