Active view (Color mode)

[aboriakin]

Hi all,

I need to implement a mode that is visually similar (same color change) to a mode where the user cannot select items in the view.
I was able to reproduce it that way:
1) Add a new "Design Оption " and switch to the new option

2) Disable "Active only".

Finally, we can select items in this "color" mode

How I can implement this "mode" via code (C#)? It's possible? (It's not a transparent state of elements)

It's doable through the API!

I played around with this when it first came out and made a "potato" mode. 😁

Ty. But I already know how to enable the temp mod, but I'm interested in how to make a "gray" filter for the whole view.
