Description

Image

The “Toggle Whiteboard” in the toolbar doesn’t get “greyed out” when activated.

Personally, I think the icon getting filled in would be better.

Brayan asked for this issue.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the toolbar icon for the whiteboard. Find where the toggle state is stored and update the icon drawable to reflect the active/inactive state (e.g., using a filled vs outline icon).
