That's true, but unless I'm mistaken, the "Visible" attribute only applies to window controls (including the entity container), while the "Active" attribute is only supported by game objects (entites and actors). I know it's a little inconsistent, but one might say it has some hidden logic in it

Okay... You might look at it like this... I would have considered changing it but of course it's a lot easier for me to say it since I'm not the one who actually has to do it...

But the more important thing I was saying is that Active and Visible are really two different attributes and I think the game objects should have both. In a perfect world, the windows and the other controls would have the attributes Visible and Enabled (and not Disabled, btw), along with their design-time equivalents VISIBLE and ENABLED. Game objects would have the attributes Visible and Active, along with their design-time equivalents VISIBLE and ACTIVE.

Of course none this is a must since there are easy workarounds. It's just me and my bloody perfectionism...
