Disabled cells of the table where user input is not allowed are grayed. At some places errors are highlighted in red, for instance if we have a slit, which does not fit in any stock, it is highlighted in Red. Also rows that have a special property are sometimes highlighted in blue (viz. Output page, layouts that have an offcut are highlighted).
