See, this is why you should tell people what you're trying to do when
they ask you, or better yet, up front.

Imagine how the thread might have gone if you had put this information
in your original e-mail:

"Is there a way to make a disabled button that looks like enabled? I'm
trying to remove this button from system observers to save system
resources putting it in disabled state."

"Well, that doesn't make any sense. There's no such thing as 'system
observers', and a disabled button takes up exactly the same system
resources as an enabled button."

"Oh, I see, thanks."

Bang, three quick messages, end of thread.

But instead you draw this out to a couple *dozen* messages by your
insistence that your goal, which makes no sense and renders the entire
thing pointless, is unimportant to the question.
