I'm wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to adjust the color setting of an effect in the effect's bin to show more clearly if the effect is enabled or disabled. Right now it kind of grays itself when off, but not really noticeable. What item would this be in the colors window?   just a thought.

This has been mentioned multiple times and currently, there is no solution. However I do believe there is a thread in the Features and Suggestions forum where you can vote for this.

Thanks Mr. A

If it's any consolation, I was mildly irritated by this when I first installed Platinum but I seem to have gotten used it now and can spot right away if an FX is on or off. 

I was fooling around with some colors and tried to see if I could change it to be more obvious. That's all,
