Hi kolla,

did you already try the optional command "GrayscaleOnOff" ? But this would need some sort of a gray palette or at least some free pens for creating it, not just black and gray (or white), because my grayscale mode has no dithering.

If you have OS 3.5/3.9 installed, you can then switch into grayscale mode with Prefs/Workbench by setting icon quality to "Bad" when using an 8-bit or AGA mode. A WB-Reset from the tools menu may also be required to activate this mode at runtime.

This should also work with WB 3.0/3.1, just without using Prefs/Workbench, but then you will need GrayscaleOnOff and also FastColors in your startup-sequence.

Planar icons won't appear in grayscale colors.
