I would like to differentiate the work item types (i.e. product backlog items vs bugs) using colors or icons, to improve the board visualization.

******TFS Kanban Board Swim lane Customization To Better Manage The Product Backlog by Tarun Arora************** Brian Harry announced the customize columns feature on the TFS Kanban board that enables you to define new swim lanes based on the work item state right from Team Web Access.
1 Open the Settings dialog for the Kanban board you want to customize. 2 Choose Tag colors and then choose the plus icon to add a tag color. Then, select the tag and the color you want to appear on the cards. ... 3 When done with your changes, choose Save.
Open your Kanban board. Choose the gear icon to configure the board setting settings. The Settings dialog opens. Choose one of the following tabs based on what you want to customize: Fields: Set what fields appear on cards. Columns: Add, rename, and configure columns for the board.
Similar to the Kanban boards, you can customize cards and add columns. Sprint Taskboards are similar to Kanban boards in that they show work items as cards instead of as lists, but are different in the ways summarized in Backlogs, Boards, and Plans, Kanban and Taskboards. Similar to the Kanban boards, you can customize cards.
It is possible in TFS 2013.
The process config should contain a section work item colors, if the section is missing just add it (e.g. at the end just before the end of ProjectProcessConfiguration)
<WorkItemColors>
<WorkItemColor primary="FF009CCC" secondary="FFD6ECF2" name="Product Backlog Item" />
<WorkItemColor primary="FFF2CB1D" secondary="FFF6F5D2" name="Task" />
<WorkItemColor primary="FFCC293D" secondary="FFFAEAE5" name="Bug" />
</WorkItemColors>
The primary color is used in lists and the secondary color in boards.
