--- Comment #7 from Heiko Tietze <heiko.tietze at documentfoundation.org> ---
We discussed the topic in the design meeting.

Currently we use italicised font for to show the locked state, underline for
non-printing, and blue font color for invisible layers. And a bold bar on the
tab for the activ layer.

Possible solutions:
+ a) use just bold for the active layer, disabled font for inactive, and
indicate the other states per icon (draw.io uses kind of a Navigator and shows
a tiny dot for the object's layer)
  + drawback is a jumping UI (unless the icons are always visible) and larger
tabs
+ b) use a thin/colored bar to indicate the object's layer
  + hard to distinguish from the active layer
+ c) colorize the tab with the highlight color
  + could use the system highlight color (and invert the blue font of disabled)

Option a) sounds to be the best choice from the usability POV (states are
currently hard to identify) but means more effort.
