Is "dimmed icons" a correct term?

[MarcinW]

There is a "dimmed" term in the "Dimmed hidden files" configuration setting.

"Dimmed" means something like "darker". But the icons are in fact semi-transparent, so they are darker on a dark background and brighter on a bright background (which is the most often case for TC).

So maybe these terms would be better:
- "Show hidden files faded"
- "Show hidden files semi-transparent"

Hmm, I don't know - I'm not a native English speaker, and you don't seem to be one either, according to the name. a Google search for
dimmed icons
seems to give results for dimmed, greyed and faded.

Native English speaker here - dimmed is the correct term, IMHO.

The "dimmed icon" term appears more often than "faded icon" on Microsoft sites. So it may be in fact the right term...

I will leave it as it is for now.
