 **** TODO [#B] waybar's storage monitor should change color when approaching full.
 waybar's storage monitor should change color when it approaches full, to allow the user to take action. note that since this system could be running on zfs, btrfs, and ext4 file systems, this should work no matter which of these filesystems we are running on. When storage is at or over 80% full, the color of the storage icon on the waybar panel should turn yellow. When the storage is at or over 90$ full, it should be red. we'll be using themed colors form the dupre theme.
 
-**** TODO [#B] waybar's volume module should not change color when muted.
-When the monitor color darkens, it's difficult to see. It should always be clear. changing the icon and text to MUTED is enough of a visual cue. 
+**** DONE [#B] waybar's volume module should not change color when muted.
+CLOSED: [2026-01-27 Tue]
+Removed #wireplumber.muted color overrides from all waybar CSS files.
+Icon and "Muted" text provide sufficient visual cue without darkening.
