Well, I can see it both ways, Lowlander. At first I wasn't sure it was an appropriate approach to the problem (though I had no other suggestions), but now that I think about it... this could actually apply well. The check box gives indication as to whether it is visible or not. So gray text does make it appear as though the nodes are disabled... but in a way they are. If you double click on a filter, it opens up their options. If you double click a node, nothing happens. So the gray text could be interpreted as there not being any options for that node. Though I'm open to hearing some suggestions on how to better represent this.

An icon or Italics/Bold come to mind as other options. As said, I'm not a fan, but it isn't a make or break issue either.

I'm not sure an icon would work well, as if they're not what's used for the nodes/collections in the tree that would be confusing and if they are what's used in the tree then there's potential for them to lose their distinctiveness due to skinning or whatnot. I don't think Bold would look too good either. Italics might work however. Subtle enough to distinguish but not bold enough (pun intended ) to stick out like a sore thumb?
