After thinking about it, I realized that we're both talking about slightly 
different things because we ultimately have two kinds of items which are 
normally not shown. The kind you're referring to are those which the driver 
doesn't support. The kind I was thinking of are those which simply don't apply 
due to other settings, e.g. the visible/invisible times when blinking isn't 
enabled. We probably need to distinguish between these two.
