Change Track Effect on/off indicator icon

Advocate ,
Jan 10, 2025 Jan 10, 2025

When using Track Effects, it's hard to see, on a 4K screen, whether the effect is on or off. The icon is just a small grey thing, and a silly little faint grey line appears through it when it's off.

 

Effect on:

Effect off, apparently:

Could this please be changed to something more obvious; green for on and red for off would be the clearest. I know it might not fit in with the "design aesthetic" or whatever, but absolutely nobody cares. Making the software more efficient to use should be the number one priority, rather than making us have to press our noses to the screen to make out these unfriendly UI features.

 

This is how tiny that icon is in the "grand scheme of things". Is that effect off or on??

...but if it had a colour-code, it'd be possible to see its state even from miles away:

I'm on 24.6.4 and the little FX icon is blue with a strikethrough when disabled, which is a lot better. What would be really nice would be the ability to tell if an individual Track Effect was disabled without opening its floating panel, even if it was merely dimmed.

 

This is just one of the many complaints about the UI that has kept me from updating to any 25 version.
