Allow other accessibility color filters

Describe the enhancement or feature you'd like

I would like to request the ability to use the other accessibility color filters, such as Grayscale Inverted (which I find more useful at night), or just send Win + Ctrl + C, while maintaining the user set color filter.

Please note that, if this is implemented, the Windows theme should stay in light mode for the inverted colors to work properly.

Thanks in advance.

We've already been looking into this internally, and will very likely offer more configuration options.

Whether the windows theme should stay in light mode or not is something you would have to configure in Auto Dark Mode via the Apps tab.

We already maintain the user set colors when it activates, what you're observing with the reset to grayscale is a regression that will be fixed in the next beta.

Thanks for the fix.

BTW, I think that the description in the UI "Use grayscale color filter (sends Win + Ctrl + C)" should also be changed then, since Windows also has non-grayscale color filters.

Since we maintain the color filter settings that are made by the user I consider this completed. Feel free to reopen if for some reason it's still not preserving the settings.

I don't think a UI is required for this, as there is a perfectly working one already in the Windows settings. The way to configure it to select the setting whatever filter is desired. If it's not turned on at the moment, you may have to temporarily turn it on while changing the settings.
