Generally, from a UI aspect, if you are showing active and inactive
controls, you'd want to do something more dramatic, to avoid specifically
those problems. Changing the background color to gray for inactive would
probably go a long way. If it means creating double bitmaps, so be it.
Are you writing the app for your users, or your developers?
Just look at all the web pages that do this. There's really no way around
it.
