Here's a straightforward mockup of dimmed icons.

* Dimming effect is achieved by setting lightness to 100% on icons and/or labels.
* Documents folder has dimmed icon, normal label and emblem.
* Templates folder has dimmed icon and emblem, normal label.
* Ubuntu One folder has dimmed icon, emblem, and label.
* Videos folder has dimmed icon, no emblem, normal label.
* Pictures folder has dimmed icon and label.

I think dimming icon, emblem, label is the most consistent approach. If label lightness cannot be manipulated, we should set the label's status to inactive. Perhaps this dimming effect can be achieved by setting all widgets in the icon container to inactive?
