I use the freeze feature a LOT. I often end up with 40 or 50 track, 20 of them frozen, and it get really confusing when it's all pale blue even when tracks are properly named.
I want the freeze feature to retain the tracks color coding !
Can it just dim-out the original track color ? Or just adding a snowflake icon before the track name ? Or putting the track name between '[]' or '()' ? Or just doing : nothing ! (since the audio/midi clip line are already paled out).
This would be a real game changer for me. and maybe for some other user ?
This should be a really easy to implement function, and it wouldn't clutter up Ableton workflow.
Grayed/dimmed/... out colors on frozen track instead of blue

I use color coding a lot in my sessions, and when track counts get large having frozen tracks spread through-out ruins the readability.

I think a combination of these, but to maintain the ableton minimal approach to design.

Re: Grayed/dimmed/... out colors on frozen track instead of blue
I just ran recently into this issue (although I am using Live for ages) as I had to freeze several tracks in a project, which leaves me with 15 blue tracks out of 20 ... And now with Live 12 coming, please let us at least turn off the blue color overlay on the frozen track - this will otherwise also turn the Live 12 features to also see the colors on mixer absolutely useless.
