So we don't want to fix the same problem ;-)
You're trying to make these items totally unreadable while I'm trying to
just hide them in the menus. I don't think making them totally
unreadable is what we want since I see absolutely no reason to have them
unreadable (as I already said).

But your solution is a possibility too :-)
