Particles hair UI -- gray out particles option when particles system is hidden

When working with multiples hair particles system in blender 3.0 it is still possible to tweak the parameters of a system hidden in viewport. Capture d’écran 2022-04-28 à 21.50.42.png It is confusing to be able to make change without seeing results, at start I was thinking something was wrong in my particles setting (as I don't get any visual feedback) until I realize I was actually changing the system I have masked.

so to prevent this, a greyed out particles system option when we masked it in the viewport would be appreciate

I think every setting that you cannot edit should be grayed in Blender and maybe also prevented you to even click it.

I think it would boost the usability and direct users to find why exactly the setting is grayed which would be a learning experience.

This particle system is legacy. It will be removed when the new hair system and geometry nodes will be ready to replace it. Don't expect any changes here.
