If some file is hidden under Windows (and I have enabled show hidden files), it is shown different (I don't know the right word but with white layer or something). So if there are two files with same extension, you can easily decide which one is hidden just by looking at it.
Everything doesn't show them differently. It is very helpful in case I want to delete a partially downloaded file, along with some other cases.

Added to my TODO list: ghost icons of hidden files.
Thanks for the suggestion.
