I have two questions that are related to the dimming of Tree view icons for invisible objects.
QUESTION 1:
After doing a Reset in FreeCAD Preferences I lost the feature of an entry in the Tree view being dimmed for invisible objects. How might I retrieve this feature? Installation of newer versions of FreeCAD do not solve the problem.
QUESTIONS 2:
My eyesight is very poor and when I had the dimming feature I found it very difficult to read the dimmed icons in the Tree view. Is it possible to have some other type of indication that an entry in the Tree view has been made invisible? For example, a color of choice.
Thanks for any help on this subject.

Make a choice for a stylesheet that fits your eyes best under Preferences - General - Stylesheet
Re: Issues with greyed out icons in Tree view
Could.you share a screenshot of your tree view? What I've in mind regarding the dimming is standard behavior.

Re: Issues with greyed out icons in Tree view
Thank you for the style suggestion. I do not believe that that will achieve a distinct color for invisible objects in the Tree.
Here is a clip of the screen showing a file with several invisible objects.
And, I have just learned something that I did not know.
The invisible items have dimmed icons but not dimmed lettering of the object's name which I was used to. I had not been able to discern this previously.
Thanks for the replies.

Re: Issues with greyed out icons in Tree view
I cannot see something wrong in your file. Can you please upload a file in the state you are describing, where the dimming does not reflect what you see?

Re: Issues with greyed out icons in Tree view
For me the icon and the lettering are "dimmed". It's hard to tell from your screenshot but I think it's the same for you.

Re: Issues with greyed out icons in Tree view
A Label2 is not dimmed. Run this macro to generate a Label2 for each object in the tree:
Code: Select all
for obj in App.ActiveDocument.Objects:
obj.Label2 = obj.Label
