Please note when I said uncolored, I meant de-saturated (I didn't know that 
word until an hour ago).  I did not mean whited or grayscale.   Whited and 
grayscale are to represent disabled items whereas de-saturated items are to 
be the not commonly used items.  I hope this clears up some confusion.

BTW- I just made up the word uncolored aid communication of my ideas, I 
didn't know it was an actual word.

Oh, that was exactly my idea... If you see at the suggested images
(for desktop & applications), low used icons are in "black and white"
(=uncolored=grayscaled :), most used ones are in color, and disabled ones
are "whited?" (which can be in color or uncolored too, depending of the
level of use). Now I'm sure, it has been a misunderstanding... :)  Tnx
