Muted clips much easier to see in 8.5, is there a fix?

In 8.5 muted clips have an icon of a red circle with a line through it. THis makes it so easy to tell which clips are muted. In X3 there is no icon and the clip is only very slightly a different shade of charcoal. This makes it hard to tell if it's muted or not even looking right at it. What can be done to make this better?

    Nothing I know of, other than adjusting monitor settings for contrast or gamma.
     
    Speaking of which...I had never calibrated my monitors but I finally did. Wow, what an improvement...I'm kicking myself for not having done it earlier.

    The first 3 books in "The Musician's Guide to Home Recording" series are available from Hal Leonard and http://www.reverb.com. Listen to my music on http://www.YouTube.com/thecraiganderton, and visit http://www.craiganderton.com. Thanks!
