Maybe I sit too far away from my monitor or something, but on my screen at 
1280x1024 in list mode, they just look like blue and green dots.  If I 
switch to icon mode and/or press my face up against the screen, I can see 
the the blue dot is translucent.

In any event, what I meant was that the _icon_ should be translucent/faded 
when the device isn't mounted.  Not the dot on the icon.  My vote would be 
to get rid of the dots altogether.
