Hi. i don't want desaturate inactive icons. Every icon has its own background square (backlight). The idea is toggle it if it is inactive,
I tested it, and it works perfectly. Try it by yourself by using Ccsm. It is really easy to implement this. If you don't like this solution, I have several another ideas how to improve this behaviour.
