I have a Pixel 7 running Graphene OS, Android 16. I'd like my phone to be in grayscale except for Google Maps and Google Drive (specifically, when I'm scanning). How can I get Tasker to turn color on when using these particular apps and have color turned off for everything else.

My phone is not rooted, nor do I wish to root it.

Hi there. Maybe you can try using the "Custom Setting" action for that. Try using the Magnifying glass in the action with the option to automatically find the setting and see if Tasker can find it. (there's a developer option to toggle grayscale IIRC) Hope this helps! :)

Thank you for your contact.
