I’ve started with a bitmap filled shape, that i converted to graphic to be able to tween. Ideally i’d like to have it fade to a desaturated version. (for a static antiquey kind of feel when it is not active)

Do i have to create a BW version of the bitmap and swap them? Or is there an easier way?

Thanks 😉
