What you ask for greatly depends on the way you implemented the skin parts

really difficult to give an answer in this case

but when you can have isolated (solo) stem all other stems are automatically removed
maybe in this case removed stems may not display
you can set the visibility of these panels (solo / removed) to be shown independently

again implementation depends on yours

You may try things like this

<panel visibility="only_stem ? on  :  off">
  <group name="stems_pads" visibility="mute_stem ' bass' ? on : off ">
  ...
</panel>
<panel visibility="only_stem ? off  :  on">
  <group name="stems_pads" visibility="only_stem 'melody' ? on : off ">
  ...
</panel>

not the exact solution, just an example of alternate panels
must of course adjust to match your needs

for broadcast skin and temporary appearing events ??

when I added stems to this one I only edited fixed eq labels to be actions xxx_label
and added 2 different instances of eq
<stack fadein="200ms" fadeout="500ms">
<pos x="1920-330-445" y="+160+25" />
<size width="330" height="160"/>
<slot x="+0" y="+0" />
<item class="eqpanel" visibility="is_using 'equalizer' 2000ms"/>
<item class="eqpanel" visibility="is_using 'stems' 2000ms"/>
<!-- default -->
<item class="vupanel"/>
</stack>

to make a difference between eq stemsmute and stemsolo
maybe replacing second by a dedicated panel may help, but detection of individual action is not simple because actions are not monitored

<item class="stemmutepanel" visibility="is_using 'stems' 2000ms"/>

but remember stem can be both solo and mute an not any of both too
so that only when at least one is solo it can be detected globally but mute can only detect individualy
so that muting a solo stem - giving no sound - can't be detected

IMO just adding a status led to stems may be enough so that instead of name always in gray i choose to colorize the name when on, and gray the name when muted using stem_pad

but for that to work I didn't use the label from slider but better added a button over the knob
<button action="stem_pad kick" ><tooltip /><text text="kick" localize="true"/><textselected text="kick" localize="true"/></button>
...

I also edited the knob to be resizable (somehow, because of radius missing maths :{#
to use it smaller for stems

<define class="knob" placeholders="*size=88,radius=32">
...

I posted about broadcast because i did it

the process is exactly the same for live because they share the code

as I said, I do not show name using the knob text field and stem xxx
I better added a button reflecting stems_pad xxx to the knob in addition to textzone
(this one was made resizeable)

			<button width="[SIZE]" height="[SIZE]">
				<text fontsize="[SIZE]/5" weight="bold" color="#aaaaaa" align="center"/>
				<textselected fontsize="[SIZE]/5" weight="bold" color="textcolor" align="center"/>
			</button>

this allows to use one is_using stems only

		<define class="stemspanel">
			<panel class="knob" x="+0" y="+45" size="68" radius="23">
				<slider action="stem kick" frommiddle="true"/>
        <button action="stem_pad kick" ><tooltip /><text text="kick" localize="true"/><textselected text="kick" localize="true"/></button>
			</panel>
...

the way I found is to use stem xxx for knob and stems_pad xxx for state in addition to stem xxx

as visible in the pic,
an isolated stem will show all isolated stems colored the other being gray
a muted stem will show all muted gray, all other will be colored
every time knob will reflect current level

As for standard pads, there is no indication of pads being both muted & solo and they appear muted
can be added by using button status on/off to change color or add a border depending on mute_stem xxx

it may be possible to add bleeds too i.e. as linear sliders if needed
