+
+`ImageDescriptor` now provides `asDisabledDescriptor()`, which returns a lazily created, shared `ImageDescriptor` for the disabled version of the image.
+This allows you to use a single descriptor with a `ResourceManager` to share both the original and disabled images, instead of managing two independent descriptors.
