--- Comment #2 from Brad <brkemper at mac.com> ---
Sorry, but I disagree. The purpose of having a disabled control is to show that something is there, but it can’t be used. An alternative is to have opacity:0, would be more reasonable than opacity:1. Or to have the text so blurred that no perfect-vision people can read it either. But doing that doesn’t make it better for anyone; it would be more symbolic than anything. Making a disabled field look like a regular field would be a disservice to everyone. It is **supposed** to be less readable, so that the enabled controls are more readable in comparison.
