disabling a group

I would consider creating a behavior that either hides the graphic or set the graphic to a lighter value.

yes, I thought of that; but since I have 20 groups on my card, it will be simpler to add a line of script and change the graphic color when toggling between enable & disable.
I was just wondering if there was a secret trick to disable the graphic and make it look disabled like the rest of the group.
