(Feature): Better visual indication for disabled nodes #796

Make sure to follow our issue report guidelines

Provide a description of your feature request

The disabled node has an unobvious visual indicator as it's just a thin x mark on top of the node, so if it's possible and easy to achieve can you make a better indicator like a dimmed, transparent node or add a red box around the disabled nodes it would be a nice quality of life thing

Note: I'm not a developer so I don't know how implementable this is but I hope it's not much and btw thank you for the software it's super awesome.

Is this a realistically implementable feature?

Can you contribute in creating this feature?

We can probably change this, but we "all" need to agree on what to replace it with. Feedback welcome :)

I personally wouldn't want a dimmed node, it would get hard to see, plus different screens are going to reproduce dimming differently.

I would support a red border around disabled nodes along with the existing X perhaps even make the X red too (though that will obviously cause issues with naturally red nodes)

I agree that the red border is better and the red x with it would be nice, the issue with the red x on a red node could be solved by making the x color over saturated and adding a black border to it.
