Just used the hide flows feature for 1st time - very nice to tidy up my disabled tabs 🙂

But I'm wondering if we there should be a noticeable icon to show that some are hidden?

I think this would be a good idea as well. In addition to that, the icon to hide them being an "X" may be confusing as well. I'm still afraid to touch it because it feels like I'm deleting a flow. Perhaps the "eye" icon used in the right sidebar info panel would be more appropriate at the top tabs as well?

A very good idea
