Tracks that are empty should be muted (dark). Tracks that contain data but are muted should flicker (currently they don't). The Track Mute function on the XL-7 is extremely rudimentary compared with the competition. There are no subgroups (like the separate drum mutes on the 505), no mute inverse (505), no way to "hold" the current settings into the next pattern (505), no mute memories except the setting stored with the pattern (RM1x), no exclusion groups to cut other tracks off (MC-80), no "all on" or "all off" functions and most surprisingly no solo mode (all of the above)! Luckily these are all features that should be relatively easy to add - the biggest problem is finding ways to assign new features to the physical interface.
