Swap the image for one with a big "X" on it? Circle-slash?

Subject: [WebAIM] Gray disabled icons and WCAG 2.0 AA contrast requirement

Hi,

Is there any new standard in creating icons to show a link or button is temporarily non-functional, and meets the color contrast requirement? Typically I would change the icon to gray-scale.

On the sites I work on, I noticed several of these no longer meet the contrast requirement.

Thanks,

Nancy Johnson
