Indication of disabled badges in admin overview

AI-generated summary

The discussion revolves around the indication of disabled badges in the admin overview. Bas suggests a visual indication, such as a strikethrough, lighter font color, or a cross, to differentiate disabled badges. sam and codinghorror prefer a grey-out approach instead of strikethrough. maja submits a pull request and shares screenshots of the updated version, which includes a grey filter. The group discusses and refines the design, with codinghorror suggesting a “ghostly” appearance and Falco recommending the use of CSS opacity. After some iterations, maja updates the design to a very dim grey, which is approved by the group. The updated design is also tested for bronze and gold badges. The pull request is eventually merged by sam, thanking maja for the update.

I’ve disabled and replaced most of the default badges.
In my admin-badge overview, there is no indication which are disabled; this makes it hard to find the one you’re looking for.

A visual indication of status would be great, I suggest either a strikethrough (makes it hard to read, but I don’t think that’s too bad), using a lighter font color or indicating with a cross in front of the badge.

Yup, I support this. It has bugged me for a long time also.

I would not strike it out, but grey out everything may work visually here, or just the word disabled.

That would certainly be better looking than adding weird strikeout markup, to my mind.

Can you get the css to apply a grey filter to the icon as well?

Like this? Or should it be even darker grey to distinct it from silver badges?

I would say dimmer not darker, more ghostly.

Hm. I’m not really sure how a ghostly badge looks like.
Like this? :thinking:
