Feature request: Grayscale color #92

Closed r4dixx closed 3 years ago

r4dixx commented 4 years ago

In Catalina, system color tint presets are here, including a greyscale one. Maybe this might be a fit? This would be awesome to have such option. Triggered after a certain time or even (and maybe I'm overthinking it) linked to the new Screen Time feature. What do you think?

Edit: Just like in Android with the Digital Wellbeing system app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.wellbeing. By the way, love this app. Thanks for doing it! I'm available for testing if you need some :)

What do you mean with system color tint presets in Catalina?

saagarjha commented 4 years ago

This, maybe?

choco commented 4 years ago

Wasn't that already introduced in Mojave? Also, those don't influence Night Shift as far as I know?

I haven't really dug again in the framework itself, but I don't think they made many changes regarding different color profiles, so I would probably close this issue and consider it out of scope just like #85

saagarjha commented 4 years ago

Yes and yes. I think the request might have just been to change the system accent color at night.

No, I'm talking about this

However, after a bit of research I noticed this might not be new (it just moved). But I still definitely think that a grayscale option like this would fit.

EDIT: This is how it could be turned on/off pre-Catalina, it basically turns the whole screen in black & white

Sorry if it wasn't clear.

Hi! Any news about this?

choco commented 4 years ago

Hi, personally I don't fell this like fits the project, but I'll keep the issue open anyway if someone wants to work on this.

thompsonate commented 3 years ago

Closing this because it doesn't really fit in Shifty's goals, and there are other ways to accomplish this. https://github.com/brettferdosi/grayscale https://indiestack.com/2019/04/toggle-system-grayscale-mode/
