Feature: Consistent visual approach for Hidden Files and Folders

[mdtauk]

What feature or improvement do you think would benefit Files?

When the user has chosen to show hidden items, currently the visual approach used for these, could be confused with items being disabled.

Developing a consistent visual approach for displaying these should be added.

Requirements

• This proposal will decide on a visual style for these Hidden files and folders
• This visual approach will be used across all places these items will be shown
• This visual style should be distinct from Disabled item states, and possibly Cut items

Files Version

3.9.1.0

Windows Version

26100.3915

Fyi @0x5bfa. It sounds like we may apply a composition brush to the item icon, but we need to do some testing to see if this is feasible.

Should this also be applied to cut items? As it use the same faded icon.

@yaira2 suggested we pick a new style for cut items - so if we can find a distinct style for those items, then yea we can change it.

Could the same cut icon used on the tool bar replacing the items icon work?
