A change that I don't think is good

Mute clip in X2 by pressing 'K' - clip gets shaded and a little red 'no entry' incon appears on it.
Mute clip in X3 by pressing 'K' - clip gets shaded.
 
That is a bad (and pointless) change.  There are other reasons why a muted clip could be shaded and being able to see the prominent 'no entry' icon was really useful.  Can we please have this back CW in X2b?  Thanks.

    This is bad indeed. I`m hoping to upgrade soon but I find the mute icon very convenient and would miss it a lot. Please CW give it back in X3b.

    Just the dissenting opinion... I kinda like the that the title bar goes gray. I have lots of long clips in which I had to return to 0 to see if it was muted. This works better for me.
     
    That said, it would not be a problem for me to have both.

    I make some videos. This one shows how to do a physical loopback on the RME UCX to get many more equalizer nodes.

    i'd bet not a deliberate change more an oversight?

    I agree, both would be a very good idea.
     
    Incidentally, the padlock icon still appears when you lock a clip's position.
