Description

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

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

Research direction
Examine the toolbar layout file (e.g., activity main.xml or toolbar layout) to find the ToggleWhiteboard icon. Check the drawable resources for the whiteboard icon states (normal and activated). Look for any existing state selection mechanism; the fix would likely involve adding a state list drawable or updating the icon in code to reflect the active state.
