button states usually always disabled

I've had some icons custom made for my application and they look
really good. However, when my application opens up, they are disabled.
The reason for this is that they don't change to enabled until the
application verifies a configuration and it's in a state ready to run.
it's a scientific application and by run I mean it runs simulations.
So there's several buttons similar to running and stopping states that
are disabled for the most of the time the app is open while the user
is configuring and analyzing.

My concern is that, I've got these great looking colorful icons that
can't really be seen or don't make the app look as good as it could if
the buttons were enabled. I'm thinking of putting little "light" like
indicators below the buttons that show when the simulation is ready to
run and always keeping the buttons enabled.

Anyone had similar experiences/ideas?
